Cortex Not Saving Program

Using RobotC ? see this topic, change the communications mode if you are using without controller/VEXnet key.

VEX Cortex - can it run as a stand alone controller without a remote?

I am using the vez cortex to run a simple motors on and motors off program. It works fine as long as it’s hooked up via USB cable to the computer. I need it to start and stop on its own as soon as I turn on the power switch. Can that be done?
