Can MDC-Max keep collecting data without a user logged into Windows?

Direct answer
Yes. A production MDC environment can run its server components as Windows services so collection continues in the background and restarts with the server. Client screens and reports are separate from the collection service, which is important for unattended reliability.
Practical checkpoint
Reboot the server during a planned window and verify that collection resumes automatically before any user signs in.
