NexGen radio automation software does not like 800 days of uptime!

Found a bit of a funny bug yesterday in NexGen where once you cross some threshold of Windows uptime, the auto-logout timer gets confused and immediately logs you out. I'd imagine it's an integer overflow somewhere. The same thing happened on another machine of ours with a similar uptime the night before (just before a live sports game!) so it's not just a one time thing.

These machines run the actual audio for the stations, hence why they never get rebooted. Rebooted this one for the first time since it was installed in 2020!...which took SIX HOURS. What a pain in the rear. Luckily we ran another machine in emergency control room mode so we weren't off the air while it rebooted, but we were starting to get nervous that this machine wouldn't be done updating by the time the morning show people came in and needed it. Luckily it eventually finished a little after 3 AM.
