Mountain Duck Auto Start warning #619

Description

@AliveDevil

Running Windows "debloat"-scripts might cause Windows to malfunction, i.e. packaged applications aren't automatically started on startup anymore.
This can be easily checked on a non-working system by running the PowerShell command

Get-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

On a working system:

    Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

                               SoftwareSASGeneration              : 1

Crucially, the two entries for packaged autostart to work (in Mountain Ducks case) are EnableFullTrustStartupTasks: 2 and SupportFullTrustStartupTasks: 1, these can be recreated to get Mountain Duck to automatically restart again.
Alternatively, reinstall Windows without debloating.
