Hyper-V and SAM Broadcaster problem on minimize

You know how you're supposed to be able to "X" out of your Hyper-V console AND the VM and leave the VM running? I run a VM with SAM Broadcaster (from Spacial) and when I "X" on the VM running SAMBC, SAM stops running, but my VM that it's installed on continues to run, because I can access its website that I'm hosting. Is there any way I can tweak a setting and continue to have SAMBC run when I "X" out? Right now I have to leave it simply minimized and I can see the icon in my tray and I know it's running, but I'd like to close out of it and forget about it as long as it continues to run.

If the power goes out, or I reboot it manually, the VM comes back up and runs in the background, but SAM does not, I have to start it manually. I use the Task Scheduler to handle loading but that doesn't seem to help. I hope someone out there can help me, this is very frustrating.

Thanks.

    Seems you'll need to reach out to the software vendor to debug / troubleshoot the application.

    None whatsoever from Spacial Support. Their support forums are offline and no one is responding to my support tickets. I'm really disillusioned with Spacial. It's almost like the company no longer wants to support it anymore because there are so many complaints. Time to look for something that is supported! Any ideas?
