Description

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.95.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

General

Steps to reproduce

I set PowerToys to run automatically after the system starts, but sometimes PowerToys does not start automatically, and there are no error reports. Restarting requires providing administrator permission before PowerToys can open.
This issue is more commonly seen on Windows with Fast Startup enabled, and it rarely occurs if Fast Startup is not used.
In addition, I saw some information related to PowerToys in the Windows system logs, and I don't know if this information is the cause.
