ServerWMC not starting with windows

I’m experiencing a strange issue where ServerWMC does not automatically start when windows starts (or after a reboot). I always have to manually start it after boot (i.e. go to start –> programs –> serverwmc). After a manual start, the program loads without issue.

I have verified that the option “Start when Windows Starts” is checked on the general tab. I also have tried to include a shortcut to the .exe in the “Startup” and get the same results – ServerWMC does not start.

Here are my current ServerWMC logs (I needed to snip the logs because I was exceeding pastebin’s limit):

Before Reboot: http://pastebin.com/5ks9CJT6
After Reboot (and subsequent manual ServerWMC start): http://pastebin.com/SL7RNbE8

Any suggestions or any other logs that I should pull? Has anyone seen this issue?

Running Windows 8.1 w/ WMC as a virtual machine with an ESXi hypervisor.
