@jjw24 Actually, I haven’t been running with these issue anymore. I did a full restart of my PC and installed Win 11. So I don’t know if I can be helpful anymore. But, regarding your request, FL settigns does get trigger when hotkeys are pressed.

I think the uninstall will delete all files automatically. Probably you have encountered some weird issues during that process. However, I do suspect whether it may remove the registry entry for auto startup, which is why you may see that in task manager. We may need to inspect on it somehow.
