windows 11 startup compatibility

About this tag
The windows 11 startup compatibility tag covers issues where legacy applications set to run at startup in Windows 10 fail to launch automatically in Windows 11, even though they work normally after the system has fully booted. Discussions focus on troubleshooting methods to restore automatic startup behavior for older programs that rely on Windows 8 compatibility settings. Users seek solutions to make these apps run during the boot process without manual intervention, exploring registry edits, task scheduler configurations, or compatibility flag adjustments. This tag is relevant for those migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 who encounter startup failures with legacy software.

    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?
