Automatic startup settings for FA-Server
This section explains how to set up FA-Server to start automatically. In order to start and run FA-Server automatically, you must first configure the startup settings for the FA-Server application itself. Next, in the Windows OS settings of the PC running FA-Server, set it up so that FA-Server will run automatically when you log in to Windows. Then, by setting it up so that Windows logs in automatically when the PC starts up, you will be able to start the server application automatically just by starting up the PC running FA-Server.
The details of each are explained below.

Automatically start FA-Server when logging into Windows
There are two ways to automatically start FA-Server when you log in to Windows: registering a FA-Server shortcut in the startup folder or using the Windows Task Scheduler.
Either method will allow you to run the program automatically, but if for some special reason you need to start FA-Server with administrator privileges, you will need to run it from the Task Scheduler.
The following explains how to set up each option.
Automatic startup using the Startup folder
Windows This is how to register a FA-Server shortcut to the OS startup. Here, we will use Windows 11 as an example.
