Hi guys.  
I just can’t make plex media player autostart when windows (10) starts.

It is enabled in the program to auto run.  
there is a shortcut in the shell:startup  
and I can see it’s enable in windows startup services.

but it does not run. there is no errors or anything.  
and everything is running the latest version. 😕
