Startup Applications Automatically Getting Disabled

So, recently I noticed that some applications I enabled to startup don't start up on boot anymore. I have no clue as to why this is but I noticed in Task Manager whenever I enable them again and restart/shut down my computer and it just goes back to being disabled. This only applied to Microsoft Store (UWP) apps and not non-UWP applications. Is it because of a Windows 11 bug or is it something else?

    This is not expected behavior, so you may try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.
    Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
    Try perform a Clean Boot and see if the problem persist?
    Take a look at:

    If not enable service one by one to see which one causing this issue.

    Hi @Abdullah Marfadi

    If you're in Windows 11 and you're having problems with an app from Microsoft Store, consider these updates and fixes.

    First, sign in to your Microsoft account. Next, work through these possible solutions in the order presented.

    Make sure Windows is up to date
    Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. If there is an available update, select Install now.

    Make sure that your app works with Windows 11.
    For more info, see Your app doesn't work with Windows.

    Update Microsoft Store
    Select Start, then from the apps list, select Microsoft Store. In Microsoft Store, select Library > Get updates. If an update for Microsoft Store is available, it will start installing automatically.

    Troubleshoot games
    If you're having issues installing a game, see Troubleshoot game installations on Windows.

    Repair or reset your apps
    See Repair or Remove programs in Windows.

    Reinstall your apps
    In Microsoft Store, select Library. Find the app you want to reinstall, and then select Install.

    I do hope this answers your question.

    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and i quite see a pattern, every single app i download from the ms store does the same thing.a simple solution is to open the app you want to autostart then find it in the processes inside the task manager and open the file location, then find the .exe file and make a shortcut of it and put it in this path C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup you should find it in the startup tab inside the task manager and try to close and reopen the task manager and it should be also on, hope this helps. (and btw this is 2 years late so sorry ig)

    my guess of what causes that problem is the 3rd party apps that tweaks windows, i use CTT tool to disable background MS apps so you must have a similar app that does a similar thing.
