Troubleshooting Prey for laptops (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)

Maybe you don’t get reports, or some actions simply don’t run. These simple commands will help our support team identify what the problem is.

Windows

Open a Windows command prompt (“cmd”).

Assuming Prey is installed on the default folder, run this command:

C:\Prey\platform\windows\bin\bash.exe C:\Prey\prey.sh > C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\Desktop\prey.log

And also this one:

C:\Prey\platform\windows\bin\bash.exe C:\Prey\prey.sh --check > C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\Desktop\prey-check.log(Check Mode)

That will save two files on your desktop, prey.log and prey-check.log. Please attach those when you contact our support team, or paste them on our forums.
