Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a configured startup app such as OpenRGB or MegaSync, then inspect the DMS settings.json and the enabled dms.service reported by dms doctor -vC. Confirm the startup-app configuration is loaded during a restart and that the selected app, command, or script runs afterward.
