    Windows 11 Startup compatibility in Windows 11

    I have a couple legacy apps that run in Windows 8 compatibility. I used to be able to run them as startup apps in Windows 10 but they will not run as startup apps in Windows 11. They do run in Windows 11 after I have started up. Is there a way around this?
