Not starting up at launch

[Undertow6248]

Despite having the option ticked in the app, and the .exe in the startup list on task manager, MagicRemoteService.exe still doesn't launch on startup. Am I doing something wrong? What can I do to troubleshoot?

The MagicRemoteService.exe isn't launching on startup with admin rights because:
⚠️ Windows blocks auto-admin privileges for standard startup entries (Task Manager/startup folder) due to security restrictions.

Fix via Task Scheduler (Guaranteed Method):

1. Delete existing startup entries for the app (Task Manager → Startup).
2. Create a Scheduled Task:
   • Open Task Scheduler → Create Task (not "Basic Task").
   • General Tab:
     • Name: MagicRemote Autostart
     • Check "Run with highest privileges"
     • Select "Run whether user is logged on or not"
   • Triggers Tab:
     • New → "At log on" (not "At startup") → OK.
   • Actions Tab:
     • New → Browse → Select MagicRemoteService.exe.
   • Conditions Tab:
     • Uncheck "Start only on AC power" (if needed).
   • Save → Enter admin credentials when prompted.

Verify:

• Reboot → Check if the app runs with admin rights (Task Manager → Details → "Elevated" status).
• If issues persist:
  • Ensure the .exe path is correct in the task.
  • Try setting "Run only when user is logged in" (Triggers tab → Edit).
