I am having problems with apps that are in my startup app being toogled off or not loading on startup. I have 2 issues one with Google drive where the toogle switch on the startup app keeps getting toogled off and another app Akrutosync which is toogled on in startup but doesn't load on startup. I have tried the remedies on google search but am getting nowhere. Can anyone assist?

Hi ,

I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out.

For Google Drive، ۆpen Google Drive manually < Settings > Preferences > Advanced settings > Enable Launch Google Drive when you login to your computer > Also enable it under Settings > Apps > Startup.

If it switches itself off again, temporarily disable any cleaner tool such as CCleaner or Advanced SystemCare, then reinstall the latest Google Drive.

For AkrutoSync, first confirm it opens normally when started manually. If it does, click Start > Type Run and hit enter > Type shell:appsfolder, and hut enter.

Open Run again, enter shell:startup, and hit enter > Drag AkrutoSync from the first window into the Startup folder.

Restart the computer and test.
