Hi everyone, it seems like MSI Afterburner is acting differently on startup now. My graphics card is an EVGA 1080ti SC2. If I shut down my computer with an overclocking profile turned on (which includes clock speed, power settings, memory, and fan speeds), the machine boots up using those exact same settings when the Windows login screen appears. It does not go back to normal factory defaults. I have not clicked "Startup" in MSI Afterburner, nor is the "launch automatically" option selected in the settings menu. There is no startup entry shown in the Control Panel or Task Manager either. I am not running an extreme overclock, and this isn't a huge deal since I can easily fix it by manually restarting Afterburner before shutdown, but this unexpected behavior feels a bit strange and less stable compared to my first week using the software. My PC never did this thing right after I started using Afterburner. I tried uninstalling the program, deleting all settings, then reinstalling nothing worked for me. Any suggestions? Should I reinstall my GPU drivers, reset my BIOS, or check if there is a specific setting that got accidentally turned on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
