Startup issues
- Make sure "Startup Behavior" is toggled ON and "Always Launch as Administrator" is toggled OFF

- If the setup above still isn't launching SignalRGB on startup, you probably want to check if any .exe is marked to launch as administrator, as that will prevent SignalRGB from launching on boot due to UAC restrictions
- Check if all of the following paths executable has "Launch as admin" UNCHECKED
%localappdata%\VortxEngine\SignalRgbLauncher.exe
%localappdata%\VortxEngine\app-VERSION\SignalRgbLauncher.exe
%localappdata%\VortxEngine\app-VERSION\Signal-x64\SignalRgb.exe
