Hello, updating from 1.8.7 to 1.9.0.8, on my pc, it broke the app startup on Windows after singing in, it does not even show up in the Task Manager list, possible bug?

    Did you install .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0.11?

    Delete or rename AppSettings.json in %appdata%\CapFrameX\Configuration. Delete all files starting with [System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition] as well, then try to start CapFrameX.

    Files deleted, the app basically went back to default settings, including the Start on windows disabled. I re enabled it, rebooted windows to test it out but no changes. Could it be because I have automatic passwordless account sing in?

    That's a good question. Will have to check that.

    I just tested it and it works fine in my case, but you're probably right about the automatic passwordless sign-in issue. It's known to be a common problem that can sometimes cause conflicts with Windows TaskScheduler

    Maybe the workaround could be setting the scheduled task to have at least a 30 or 40-second delay before running? That would give Windows enough time to validate the automatic sign-in (just a theory)

    @independent-arg Gave me an idea, but unfortunately it did not work.
    I manually placed a link of CapframeX into the windows shell:startup folder, that resulted in windows notifying me that CapframeX is now a software in the Startup mode, and i can see it on the list of Task manager, however, it didnt change the result, the app doesnt launch, so doesnt RTSS unfortunately.

    I've checked the autostart code yesterday and found a bug. Here the fix (latest build): https://archive.capframex.com/

    The catch is that this build can trigger Windows Defender due to unsigned OSD DLLs.

    Confirm this latest build works, didnt get any DLL trigger either, but that is probably due to my WinDefender settings.

    Lucky one, so you also got the fix for the OSD chart pause issue and you can try the in-game overlay.
