Re: How to start PowerPro automatically on startup?

Create a shortcut in startup group.  There is a checkbox in install but if you miss that or change your mind yo can use instead Create Shortcuts button on Configure Setup (in middle right of dialog).  That's the one you want. 

 On that dialog: Leave the pproconf file as specified.  Check startup.  Also check any other places you want short cut.  To get a task bar shortcut, select desktop as well as startup up,  OK out of pproconf, then pin the desktop shortcut to the taskbar, eg by drag drop of shortcut on desktop to taskbar.
 

 This assumes you are not running ppro elevated.  If you are, I don't know how to start it with windows.
 

 Note:  startup and desktop shortcuts still work on my win10.  I won't vouch for any of the other selections, however.
