@AiraPaul Thanks for the report. Something is not working right on my side, as well. When the second checkbox is also enabled, it will create the task in the task scheduler because the task scheduler runs programs as an admin. The task is configured to start when the user is logged into Windows.

But when I run it from the task scheduler, I don't see the windowtop started. It seems like a bug.

I am investigating it.

Thanks for the report.

@AiraPaul I have no idea when it broke, but it seems that the issue is that the task created in the task scheduler is invalid.

I will work now on a fix.

For now, you can manually fix it by editing this task You will need to modify the settings here so it will look like this (when I marked it in red)

In the path, browse again to WindowTop, and in "Add arguments," write only runby_schtasks as in the screenshot.

After doing it, WindowTop should start as admin when Windows starts. I checked it.

I will fix this bug that causes the app to create invalid tasks. Thanks for the report.

@AiraPaul Fixed. Please try this version with the hotfix included:

https://github.com/WindowTop/WindowTop-App/releases/tag/v5.22.8

Try to disable and re-enable the option again, and let me know if it works well for you. Enjoy
