>That may be correct. However, I'm totally sure I started the service from a console running with admin privileges. The service wouldn't start otherwise.

Just guessing, because, as I said before, I don't have a kind of intuitive sense regarding Windows since I don't actually use it. It may require admin to start/stop services, but that may not mean that the service being started implicitly gets admin privileges. Maybe there's a way (hopefully a command line option) to do that.

>I'm willing to give you more log data if necessary.

The log category that'd tell me if brltty is trying to report "no attachable console" would be outpkts as that'd show what's trying to be written to the braille display. That's how I figured it out before.
