Describe the bug
ACC launches at startup regardless of checkbox value in program settings > "Start with Windows?"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Assistant Computer Control app settings
  2. Uncheck box for 'Start with Windows?'
  3. Restart PC
  4. Program still launches at startup, visible in taskbar icons

Hardware & software info (please complete the following information):

  • Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.19045 Build 19045
  • Assistant Computer Control - v1.4.6

Additional context & log files
I disabled "Check for updates?" in ACC settings to see if that was triggering the startup launch, but seems not to have changed anything.
I also have another computer running Windows 10 Pro and am seeing the same behavior on that machine as well.

I get a similar, but worse error, I am not sure if is related. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times and while it works fine on the first start, it subsequently always fails with these errors:

So, just an an update on a workaround, I:

  • Disabled the "Start with Windows" option in the ACC settings (which removes that Taskscheduler Task); and
  • Left the ACC cleanup Task in Task scheduler, and
  • Added (in the Startup Dir accessed using START +R, shell:startup) a shortcut to ACC in the Windows startup folder.

No more errors due to double starting; so far at least.
