Steps to reproduce
In the settings "General" tab, I have turned on the "Run at startup" option. Occasionally the app will start up when I log onto the computer, but it does not startup all the time.
When I could not get a consistent startup with the above method, I decided to also add the "PowerToys.exe" command to run as a "new task" to the Windows 11 "Startup apps" section. This too only starts the app occasionally ... what I am looking for is consistency ... to have the app run each time I log on to the computer.
✔️ Expected Behavior
To have the app run each time I start the computer or log onto my computer.
❌ Actual Behavior
The app only starts sometimes, there is no reasoning as to when it will start. I only discover it has not started when I try to open a windows program and have it "snap to" my selected FancyZone. When the windows program does not "snap" as expected, I check the "Show hidden icons" in the Taskbar Tray, only to discover that the PowerToys app did not start at login, and have to start it manually to continue.
