How to "halt" autostart for some time...?

I don’t exactly get what you’re saying, but I assume you’re not connecting through SSH with your mirror? Because when you connect through SSH, you come in the RPI shell and can configure your modules.

Can I pauze this autostart somehow?

If you can get to the terminal quickly enough (before MM autostarts) you can type pm2 stop MagicMirror. This will quit MagicMirror without disabling autostarting. After you’ve done what you need to do you can then type pm2 start MagicMirror. This will launch MagicMirror and your autostarting will still be intact.

If MagicMirror is already running you can press your Alt key and get to your terminal that way. Then, do as described above.

@htilburgs unfortunately not yet!
I made the fresh install her at work and the raspberry can’t acces the companies network ( I can see it but can’t select it) so I had to use the open network instead.
So I couldn’t set up SSH … and I didn’t thought of it either…:disappointed_but_relieved_face:
But I will do it at home… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: but in order to do that I need to have a clear acces to the system without MM2 constanly starting :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

On my lost sd-card I also had SSH working. I could acces it via Putty, JuiceSSH (android) and the Windows “Remote Desktop Connection”.
