Cobian Reflector • Application not running at startup

I could not find other reports like "application not running" and "application does not start", so I must have an unusual issue.

I've used Cobian 1x for years, and recently switched to Reflector, on two Win11 laptops. It's an incredible app, has saved us from several hard-drive and motherboard failures (and I've donated from that gratitude ; ) So I'm sure that the software remain exceptionally good, and I'm making a silly mistake.

• 1st laptop, all is well: the application runs upon user login (all users)

• 2nd laptop, same installation as far as I can tell, but the application does not run at startup (all users)

This prevents my task list from loading, and also from checking application options. I can find no way to force the application to start. This includes trying to force the main application to run, which is installed here on both pcs:

• "C:\Program Files\Cobian Reflector\Cobian.Reflector.Application.exe"

However, if I re-install the app from the cobiansoft download, on that 2nd pc, and make no other change, then is starts OK that one time immediately after installation. When I re-boot my pc, I need to re-install to get that main app to run. It makes no sense to me.

Anyone recognize any mistake I made with that 2nd pc? Anything that I can check and confirm in Win11 Services, Task Scheduler, registry Run folder, ... ?

• The only difference for the 2nd pc is that Application running reports "No" instead of "Yes"

• (I think it's a minor bug that repeatedly selecting the Service and application control tool opens multiple windows, instead of just that one control panel)

The main service is NOT installed on either pc:Thanks for any suggestions to get this 2nd pc configed correctly for reliable backups.
