Putty double click on session name does not automatically start session

putty

all the docs on putty say, "To start a saved session immediately: double-click on the session name in the list box." This works on all of my saved sessions except for the session I most recently created. Putty does not automatically start that session on double-click. I found no settings in putty that control this. I recall this happening on other installs of putty but never found a solution for it. Has anyone else experienced this? What is different about this session?

Best Answer

This works for me in case double-click on a saved session does not work:

  1. Delete the saved session by clicking on the 'Delete' button in PuTTY configuration
  2. Re-enter the hostname/IP address in both 'Host Name (or IP address)' field and 'Saved Session' field.
  3. Save the session by clicking 'Save' Button
  4. Double-click on the newly saved session
