    Launchy seems to run fine on my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit box. But I cannot find a way to make it autostart at bootup. I've tried adding it to the Startup folder, I've tried creating a startup item in Task Scheduler to start on any user login, tried delays, tried making a shortut that runs as administrator and launching it from that, tried all other kinds of settings but nothing works.

    The really strange thing is that it seems to start when I boot up. I see the splash screen, but then it isn't running after the bootup is complete. Nothing I have tried changes this. It so bizarre!

    I have set everything the same way I have other programs set that work, but Sandboxie doesn't work.

    I can start it manually every time with no problem by double clicking the .exe... starts with no problems.

    Not that I am not using any malware sofware except Windows own Defender.

    I'm using the final beta version of Launchy.

    Anyone have any idea how I can get it to start when Windows boots?

    Guess there's no solution for this to be had here. For some reason Launchy is the only program that has this problem. I just can't figure out why it won't start. I should point out that in about 1 out of 5 boots it DOES start. But in the otehr 4, it doesn't. Bizarre problem that seems to have no solution.
