"Launch At Windows Startup" Not Working

rileychan6 commented 7 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I searched the existing issues and did not find anything similar.

Current Behavior

The settings option "Launch At Windows Startup" in the General section, does not have any effect, and the check box to toggle the setting is unchecked when the program is minimized or closed. I have also tested this with settings such as "Close To Tray" and "Minimize To Taskbar" to see if that made any difference, and it did not.

Expected Behavior

The setting should remain selected when toggled even when closing or minimizing, and it should actually launch when logging in to Windows.

Steps To Reproduce

Open AntiMicroX
Select the "Options" drop down menu
Click "Settings"
Toggle "Launch At Windows Startup" to be active
Click "OK"
Minimize/close the program
Repeat steps 1-3 to see it is unchecked

Environment

No response

Anything else?

I also checked in the settings file in AppData, and there doesn't seem to be any variables in the file that I can see that relate to it launching at startup.

Please help me solve this problem, the program does not start with Windows 10, the checkbox keeps disappearing «Запускать при старте Windows»

With the help of the task scheduler, you can configure everything and it will start, everything worked for me

I fixed mine with a .bat file, task scheduler didn't work for me. here is the bat file code I used, just make a text file in the install location of AntiMicroX, bin folder (default is C:\Program Files\AntiMicroX\bin) , and place the following code in it, then rename the .txt to antimicrox.bat and add that to the Startup in windows settings, or place a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp. However this will start the program with admin right, just so your aware.

@echo off
if "%1"=="runas" (
  cd %~dp0
  echo Hello from admin mode
  pause
) else (
  powershell Start -File "cmd '/C %~f0 runas'" -Verb RunAs
)

start antimicrox.exe
