Just noticed when Windows 11 Pro starts the Adrenalin system tray icon does not load. I have to run Adrenalin manually from my desktop icon before launching my first game. After that it shows in the system tray but It's annoying it no longer loads on Windows startup. I see in under Task Manager but it's disabled and it won't let me enable it due to it can't find it? Here's a screenshot. I has the same problem with MSI Center too even though in that software it's set to load at Windows Startup. As far as AMD Adrenalin goes I also tried adding a startup string in the Registry HKey Current User's run key but that didn't work at all.

Solution: I ended up creating a Windows shortcut to C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext\LauncherRSXRuntine.exe into the Startup folder located at %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs (bring up this folder from the Run line) and now it does run on Windows startup in the System Tray. It's a workaround but at least it does work. Maybe someone with Windows 11 can check their Startup Apps list and tell me if yours also says "High" impact?
This file is in the folder so why is Windows 11 Pro telling me it can't be found and disables it in the Startup Apps list?

This worked for me, after installing I did not restart, but enabled the task in start up. After restart software launched, finally. Before that it did not see it in the list, as I wrote before, there was just AMD noise suppression.
I forgot; to see the AppData folder you have to temporarily go under Explorer view settings and show hidden items. But like I said if you do Start/Run you can paste %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs in the box and hit enter and the folder will pop up without showing hidden items first. Then just navigate to the Startup folder where you can place the shortcut to the launcher app C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext\LauncherRSXRuntine.exe
I added the user environment path and in Task Manager Startup Apps I can now view LauncherRSXRuntime.exe properties, but the task remains disabled. I even tried some compatibility mode options to run as administrator and reregister for startup but no luck. I can manually enable Radeon Software Startup Task but every time I restart it is disabled again. I even reinstalled the newest AMD Adrenaline drivers but no luck. It loads on first reboot but doesn't on subsequent reboots. So I had to put my LauncherRSXRuntime.exe shortcut icon back into the Windows Startup folder again to make it work.
These are work arounds. There is something wrong with Windows 11 and AMD for me now too... not loading at start up and I should not have to make my own start up.
No clue what is going on. But ya... like someone else said... this was toggled off and I had to toggle it on.
Where are you getting that screen? I don't see a Apps/Startup window.
Hi! Please, try this:
I'm not sure, but in my case, this option was disabled (after the clear install).
After the reboot - I still can find the AMD icon in my tray.
OK... day 4 - all looks fine.
In my case, all was fixed when I disabled the Win11 drivers update (Win+R -> gpedit.msc - > open the Local Group Policy Editor -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Manage updates offered from Windows Update -> On the right side, double-click the Do not include drivers with Windows Update policy -> Enabled -> Apply/OK)
and made a clean install of Adrenaline (also, enabled the Tray).
Maybe, this can help anyone (mb not, but ...)
Have a good and safe day!
