Startup issues

1. Make sure "Startup Behavior" is toggled ON and "Always Launch as Administrator" is toggled OFF

3. Check if all of the following paths executable has "Launch as admin" UNCHECKED
4. %localappdata%\VortxEngine\SignalRgbLauncher.exe
5. %localappdata%\VortxEngine\app-VERSION\SignalRgbLauncher.exe
6. %localappdata%\VortxEngine\app-VERSION\Signal-x64\SignalRgb.exe
