Some apps resets autostart to “inactive” after new login

For example, I have the f.lux Windows App installed from the Microsoft App Store. However, the app does not autostart.

  1. When I set autostart to active in the Task Manager, after a logout/login into Windows, it is again reset to inactive (Deaktiviert)

  2. When I want to view the settings (Eigenschaften) of the app, I get this error:
    enter image description here
    English translation: “Fluxnoshow.exe” could not be found. Make sure that you entered the name correctly and try again.

What I tried

  • Repairing the app

  • Resetting the app

  • Reinstalling the app


This is also the case for other apps I have installed:

  • MS Teams
  • MS ToDo
  • Befehlspalette
  • …

But some other apps work just fine:

  • AutoDarkModeSvc
  • CCXProcess
  • OneDrive
  • …

What is interesting, there is no such process listed using the MS Autoruns tool:
