Autostart fails #1545

Closed marco-prolo closed 2 months ago

marco-prolo commented 3 months ago

Before opening the issue, have you...?

Describe the bug

When I select "start on startup" in the options, the app won't start after booting. Although it's listed in the startup settings of the mac settings, there is no icon, as if the app is nonexistent to the os. See screenshot: Bildschirmfoto 2024-05-08 um 08 06 17

I also manually deleted it from the mac setting and put it back there. Also with no luck. And after the reboot the "start on startup box in the monitor control app is unticked again...." I already removed the app via app cleaner and reinstalled with no success to date.

Steps to reproduce

Chose "Start on Startup" in the monitor control options

Expected behavior

It should start when booting into mac os

Anything else?

No response

Something does not seem right with the installation. Do you have the app installed under /Applications? Did you try to manually drag the app to Login Items?
