### Problem Description
I need help with Flow Launcher urgently, I'm dealing with two really annoying problems, these problems are driving me crazy
The first problem is issue #4542, but now there is another (though it may be related)
In the option to start with the system, sometimes when I turn on my computer, sometimes the program not only starts with the startup, **but also doesn't even want to open**, forcing me to restart my PC or log out and back into my Windows user, the latter sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
I've been dealing with this for a while, I've tried to get help, but it didn't work, I did things thinking the problems was resolved, but they still happen
if anyone else is going through these two things, please let me know, so I know I'm not the only one
### To Reproduce
Just activate the option to start with system startup and keep turning the computer off and on that one hour, on one of these starts, the program will not only not start with the system startup, it will not even open anymore
### Screenshots

### Flow Launcher Version
2.1.3
### Windows Build Number

### Error Log

Research direction
Start by comparing this report with issue #4542 and repeatedly testing the system-startup option on Windows 25H2, using Flow Launcher 2.1.3. The report names no source files or tests and provides no actual error log; the issue is done when the startup failure is reproducible, diagnosed, and Flow Launcher reliably opens after system startup.
