Hey!  
I don’t know what happened, but FxSound always started automatically with my Windows. But since the last update it stopped working that way. I always have to open the app manually. I tried reversing back to old versions, but it doesn’t work. I was wondering where FxSound stores datas and settings? Cuz I also tried to reinstall it. Nothing works with this problem. My PC doesn’t have any similiar problem with other apps.

Thanks for the help in advance!

FxSound is configured to run on startup by creating a shortcut in %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.  
Please check if this path has FxSound shortcut.  
Installer creates this shortcut and FxSound starts automatically on boot.

I have it in the exact folder, but somehow it doesn’t start with the windows.

I managed to solve it. Whenever the APP gets updated you have to add the new shortcut into that Startup folder. So it can start. Strange, but I hope it will help for somebody else to.
