Application cannot run automatically at startup #104

Closed DHDANI closed 4 months ago

DHDANI commented 5 months ago

I can't make the app autostart, even if I put it into shell:startup, or create a task with task scheduler. It requires me to click on the shortcut. Using Windows 11.

Sadly I'm in the same boat. Cant get it to auto start. Works great with just opening the exe but Windows cant open it automatically.

Edit: Found the issue. The Deej Folder was read only because I put it in Program Files, Moved it to C: and its working now

Hi @DHDANI, thanks for writing.

To have deej run on startup, please make sure that it's placed together with the config file in a directory that does not require any special permissions (for example, don't use Program Files). Then create a shortcut to deej.exe, and move the shortcut into shell:startup. The shortcut is set to start in the original location of deej.exe, which is how deej is able to locate its config file.
