Lux doesnt connect on startup

[JeromeNelsonC]

Im running lux in a windows 11 VM (arm64) on my MAC (M2 Max) and set it to run at startup and connect on Open.
At startup i get a UAC prompt to start lux_core but it doesnt connect to the internet, or doesnt turn on the proxy, until I manually open Lux (not core) but when I do it opens the UAC prompt for lux_core again , but htis time it works.

So as a workaround I added Lux as a scheduled task with highest priveledges, but this is not ideal since it opens the Lux window everytime the task is run.

Is there a way to fix this?

That's because the window of Lux will always be open when Lux is started. I'm not sure whether there are some features of Windows whicn can hide the window of Lux on started. Besides that, I think a possible way is hiding the window on default by the code of Lux, which is not implemented now.

This can be a feature in future versions of Lux.

But is there a way to fix the problem of connecting on startup? Shouldn't it connect automatically?
