Very slow autostart

When Dexpot starts automatically it takes about 15-20 seconds after loading to desktop in windows 8.1.
But when I run Dexpot manually it takes about 1-2 second. Even if I start it right after login.

What could be the problem? :(

What's your Dexpot version and do you run Dexpot with admin privileges?

Please update to Dexpot version 1.6.12. Then disable the "Run as administrator" option and check if the problem still occurs.

Thank you! The problem is resolved. Disabling administrator privileges highly accelerated autostart.

Windows 8.1 is very slow to execute some programs on start-up. I've found it's much quicker to set dexpot.exe to run as a task at logon (and disable 'start with windows' in settings). Dexpot opens almost instantaneously this way.
