Problem seens to be that definition in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run defines GCSM for Windows server and not for Windows 10 or 11. This entry is greyed out and cannot be changed. I seems the task was created on an older Windows version and isn't fully compatible with Windows 11.

I see now that both OUTLOOK and GoContactSynd are started by same user, but Outlook is started normally and Gocontactsync is elevated (started as administrator). I do not see how GCDM is started (it is NOT in startup programs and not in task scheduler). How can I change the automatic startup of GCSM so it will start as normal user?

Further information. I reboot my P daily. The last few days I see I do not get this error message a few minutes after booting, but many hours later. It looks at GCSM works fine for first (and maybe second) sync. But then the error appears agin

Error: GCSM and Outlook started bij different user

I checked task scheduler and gocontactsync is NOT there. Why/how does it start automatically?

I also added outlook.exe to startup folder. After rebooting outlook now starts up automatically but I still get same error msg from jo contactsync. I checked task manager again and again both processes have SAME user id

I get same problem. When using Task Manager - Details I see that both Gocontactsync. exe and outlokk.exe are running with the same user. So the mesaage generated by Gocontactsync that the apps were started by different users is NOT correct. When I exit Gocontactsync and restart it again the problem does NOT appear. So, it seems to be linked to Gocontactsync starting before Outlook has started
