Automatic Assistant startup
During the attended MSI installation, you can enable the Automatically Starts Assistant with Windows option. This automatically adds UiPath Assistant to your Windows Startup Apps and enables the corresponding Automatically start Assistant with Windows setting within your Assistant preferences.
The ability to control auto-start from your Assistant preferences depends on whether it was enabled during installation.
-
If auto-start was NOT enabled during installation—Your Assistant application controls the UiPath Assistant entry in your Task Manager Startup Apps. You can enable or disable auto-start through your Assistant settings, and this is reflected in your Task Manager. However, if you manually disable UiPath Assistant in your Task Manager, your Assistant cannot re-enable it, and you must do so in your Task Manager.
-
If auto-start WAS enabled during installation—The Automatically start Assistant with Windows setting in your Assistant preferences is enabled. To disable auto-start, you must manually disable UiPath Assistant in your Task Manager Startup Apps. The setting within your Assistant is overridden by the setting in Task Manager.
