What exactly means that it doesn't follow the setting - when you enable Auto Start and click OK, can you see the Task Scheduler HWiNFO task being created ?

Have you also clicked OK after enabling Auto Start? That should create the HWiNFO task in Task Scheduler. So you don't see it there after clicking OK ?

I had not clicked OK as that was the default and I changed nothing on the page.
I have now clicked OK, and still see no entry in the Task Scheduler.
I was not sure how HWiNFO implemented auto start.
I will uninstall, and reinstall to see if that addresses the issue.

I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled HWiNFO.
Adjusted settings, including Auto Start and clicked OK.
An HWiNFO Task is now listed in Task Scheduler.
I was wrong, Auto Start is not default, it just appeared that way to me.
I believe I pulled a back-up .ini file and placed in the HWiNFO folder.
In that case I would not have had to click OK as the settings were from the previous install.
I wonder if deselecting Auto Start, clicking OK, then reselecting Auto Start, and clicking OK again would have had the same result.
