My sincere apologies for the necro post, but I wanted to add some information that could be useful for other hard to add games/applications.
You can see how games/applications launch themselves with Process Monitor. -
Pardon the necro, but I just wanted to chime in here. I can personally confirm Parsec works great. There is also Rainway now, which lets you do the same as Parsec, just over a web browser, no client download.

It's been almost 3 months. Have you all taken the time to look into this?

Have you had the time to look into it yet? Just checking in on this issue.

OK so update time. My collection finally finished syncing, it took about 4-5 hours to finish my collection of 9251 games, and as far as I can tell they all seem to be present and correct in the my collection part of the database. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/games/neil9000 So I'm not really sure what to tell you as to why yours are not showing correctly. I know there was a time when the feature was not working at all due to a change in the https security of the site, hence my statement in your thread that I didn't think it was working at all, but I seemed to of debunked that by uploading my collection. If I was you and it's still not working correctly I would go back to that thread explain the situation and tag in your post @Jason Carr and @Vlansix and see if they have any info or help they can offer you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you, but i'm simply not seeing your issue my end after many hours of not being able to use my Launchbox or Bigbox while I was waiting for the sync to finish.
Thanks for taking the time to verify. I really appreciate it. @Jason Carr @Vlansix, not really sure what else to say here. I upload my colletion, and when it finishes, I check the site and it is still using my old collection. Any Suggestions?

No probs. To be honest with you I am not sure if the collection stuff still works, I am going to try uploading mine, and I'll let you know how I get on.
Alright, thanks for testing. Please, let me know what happens.

I've synced my collection twice today and it still hasn't updated on the website. I even cleared my cache and used a different browser and private browsing mode. What am I doing wrong? I should have 6,153 games in my collection.

This is a shell replacement for Windows and doesn't really have a GUI. It is basically a simple launcher for BigBox and any other applications you configured to run. It can also handle crashes and BigBox being exited. It doesn't offer any additional hardening of security, such as blocking task manager. If you wish to block task manager, set registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System DisableCAD to 1.
