1) With a fresh Zygor guides install, I noticed two entries in the "Startup" folder for Zygor: 1) ZygorGuidesClient.vbs, 2) ZygorGuidesClient.exe. With the Zygor client not loading at PC startup, I tried executing ZygorGuidesClient.vbs by itself and it appears to do nothing. On the other hand ZygorGuidesClient.exe brings up the Zygor guide client (and goes through updates etc.) as it should. I then removed ZygorGuidesClient.vbs from the Startup folder and restarted the PC and the Zygor guides client did load properly. Is it even necessary to have and entry for ZygorGuidesClient.vbs in the PC Startup folder?
2) A few days ago I noticed that the Zygor guide client wasn't starting up automatically when I logged into my PC. I checked the list of startup programs and saw that ZygorGuidesClient.exe was missing (but ZygorGuidesClient.vbs was still there). After manually running ZygorGuidesClient.exe to start the Zygor client, I went into the Zygor guide interface "Settings" (gear at lower right corner of the Zygor client) and went into "Preferences" and noticed that the option "Open the client on startup" was already selected. So I de-selected then re-selected this option and received a "Settings Saved" message but it did not fix the Zygor client startup problem. I then de-selected "Open the client on startup" (with "Settings Saved" message) then looked at all of PC startup programs and the entry for ZygorGuidesClient.vbs was gone but the ZygorGuidesClient.exe was still in the PC startup programs list.
Also, not that this is a common "use case" with the Zygor Client, but I noticed that if the .vbs and .exe "ZygorGuidesClient" entries had been "accidentally" removed from the PC startup programs list and then you went into the Settings->Preferences of the Zygor client and de-selected the "Open the client on startup" option, the "ZygorGuidesClient.exe" (but not "ZygorGuidesClient.vbs") was added to the list of PC startup programs. Maybe this is some "feature" that I'm not aware of, but it seems to me that the "ZygorGuidesClient" startup entries should be removed from the startup programs list when you de-select the "Open the client on startup" option. Maybe audit the list of PC startup programs before adding or removing entries from the PC startup programs list?
Sorry for the long post!
Please look into these issues and post a reply. I may not be the only one experiencing this "strangeness." Thank you! -BK
