no more autostart, but manual start is OK

[Quoddity]

Around a week or so ago, I noticed FanControl is no longer starting automatically.
I am running Windows 11 pro with Bitdefender.
I believe it happened right after a recent update.
It starts fine if manually started.

I have had no issues with Fancontrol auto starting in the past.
I have confirmed it is to autostart in FanControl's settings. It is also set to autostart in the "Startup apps" in the task manager. I have also added a symbolic link in the startup apps folder for the administrative user I log in with.
I then added an entry to the registry, which then added a second entry for it to autostart in the "Startup apps" in the task manager.
I have also checked BitDefender, and, (while mostly useless) there are no notifications.

However, in the Windows Event Viewer>Windows Logs>Application, I am getting a 1026 .Net Runtime error, followed by a 1000 error.
The 1026 error EventData:
Application: FanControl.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

You shouldn't need all of that. Make sure the user you use is admin, it won't work on non-admin accounts.
Toggle off and on the "start with" setting in FanControl to delete/recreate the task in task scheduler.

Is it possible to add arguments to the scheduled task? I tried, but it doesn't work.
For other users FanControl starts, but with no user settings (*.json file).
Am I able to change the default setting? Because if FanControl starts there must be something like a fall back.
