Note: Ensure you have "File name extensions" enabled in Windows Explorer so you aren't actually naming it server.png.txt . Restart as Administrator. Method 2: Re-registering the Automation Server
The QPST server often fails to "see" its own files because of Windows 10/11's strict directory permissions. Always right-click QPSTConfig.exe or QFIL.exe and select . qpst serverpng file is missing patched

The server.png file is typically part of the graphical user interface (GUI) assets for the QPST executable. In some versions (especially 2.7.496 and certain builds of 2.7.453), a registry mismatch or a corrupted installation path causes the software to look for this asset and fail to launch the background server if it isn't found. Always right-click QPSTConfig
This forces the QPST server to re-register its paths in the Windows Registry, which usually clears the "missing file" flag. Method 3: Clean Reinstall with Version 2.7.496 (Patched)
If you are using an older version of QPST, the "missing png" error is a known stability bug. Moving to a more recent, stable build usually resolves the asset pathing issues. your current QPST via Control Panel.
If the file is present but the error persists, the issue is likely with the Windows Registry registration of the AtServer.exe . Open the as an Administrator. Type the following command and hit Enter: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin" Use code with caution. Once in the directory, type: AtServer.exe /RegServer Use code with caution.
