I finally manage to reproduce this behavior. Nevertheless it happens
only when I do not click on the pop up message boxes.

Here is what I do:
start NUT
unplug power cord (a pop up window appear and I do not touch it)
re-plug the cord
restart the service with Computer Managment application => upsmon do not
start
click on the 2 pop up windows (ONBATT and ONLINE)
restart the service with Computer Managment application => upsmon
restart OK

So, did you click on the pop-up windows when you have this bug ? Do you
even see those pop-up windows ?
The pop up windows are triggered with the WALL directive of the
NOTIFYFLAG command. So you can try removing this directive and see if
this fix this issue until I fix it in the code.

By the way, which Windows version are you using ?

regards,
Fred

No, it's not possible with current implementation of NUT service. You
need to use the console for this.
