Release Specific Notes

• With LabVIEW 2026 Q1 we have officially added support for Windows Docker Container and introduced Headless LabVIEW run mode.
• When running LabVIEW in headless mode:
  • All UI prompts are either suppressed or logged.
  • No development possible.
  • No need of activating LabVIEW.
  • All unwired errors are logged automatically.
• Two ways to run LabVIEW in headless mode:
  • Call LabVIEW's executable with --headless argument. (eg: LabVIEW.exe --headless)
  • Append -Headless argument at the end when calling LabVIEWCLI (eg: LabVIEWCLI <command> -Headless)
  • Both of the above methods will Launch LabVIEW in headless mode.
• Find more information here: Headless LabVIEW, FAQs

NOTE: To set default run mode to Headless, set the environment variable LV_RTE_HEADLESS=1 in your docker containers
