My application doesn't start when Windows is restarted and a registry entry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is not created.

Hmmm I'm not sure what could be wrong here. Did you try on another other machine? Could you provide us with the app or a simple version of it we could debug?

And make sure to try 5.0.3 just to be safe.

Hi @adam-lynch Registry edit permission is disabled on some windows systems. What to do in that scenario. I am getting l ADD command exited with code 1: ERROR: Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator. in my electron app. Is there any workaround for this problem?

[adam-lynch]

@deepanshushukla not that I know of, I'm afraid. I think all you can do is gracefully handle the error and maybe disable any options in your UI.

@adam-lynch I am able to reproduce it by disabling the registry edit setting in Windows. Getting the same error

[adam-lynch]

This is not unexpected. If registry editing is disabled, there isn't anything you can do

Any update on this issue will be much appreciated.
