Issue Details

Hello,

I noticed AdGuard VPN starts automatically at system start, with the AdGuard VPN window opening up, although in the AdGuard VPN settings, the application is precisely set not to start at system bootup. Have you noticed this misbehavior on your end?

Thank you.

Expected Behavior

AdGuard VPN shouldn't open at system start if it is set not to.

Actual Behavior

AdGuard VPN opens at system start even if it is set not to.
