Drivers & Software

Hi,

Despite "System Tray Menu" being marked in settings as "Enabled" the software does not start with Windows and icon is not present on taskbar. Why? Anybody having the same issue?

System is Windows 7 64-bit and the newest version of Radeon Software (21.4.1).

Put a copy of AMD exe/start in the 'startup' folder then reboot.

What you mean by AMD exe ? There's no such file in the system. Afaik "RadeonSoftware.exe" starts the app, but somehow it's not during the startup. I have already bug reported this to AMD, meanwhile I have added it to "Run" registry folder of HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree.

Oh, I know it will work but not entirely correct: the app will start in foreground, instead being minimized / visible only in system tray.

I have win7 and a RX580....this works for me. I don't care if I have to close the app on start up.

OK, it looks like I have fixed it by doing some Google research:

Have added the following string to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]:

"C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext\RadeonSoftware.exe\" atlogon

Hi I'm a little nervous of registry edits. Is that what this is? If so could you explain in a couple steps where to put this in? tyty

Mine stopped after I had to do a reinstall.

Wouldn't this exe start minimized instead of using RadeonSoftware.exe?

C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext\LauncherRSXRuntime.exe

At least it works via the Startup folder method. I'll try it later and see.
