Steps to reproduce

This is one of the "Autorun not working at startup" issues. The issue has only shown up within the past month after using PowerToys the last 4 years. I have been perusing the previous threads without much success, so I am sharing what I have attempted so far.

  • Toggling autorun on/off in the general settings UI.
  • Tweaking Task Scheduler's startup condition (e.g., launching at startup regardless of log on behaviour)

Now Task Scheduler is being odd here. It claims to have successfully executed the scheduled task, but the Last Run Result displays the 0x41303 string (Not Running). Running the task manually does start PowerToys.
