The auto run function of the program is achieved by creating the "TrafficMonitor" key in the registry path of "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run".
If you encounter the problem of auto run dose not work, please check that the registry exists, and then check the program path is correct. If you move the location of the program, the auto run will be invalid because of the program location being invalid. In this case, you only need to uncheck "Auto run when Windows start" in the option settings, and then check it on.
Note that some third-party security software may prevent TrafficMonitor from booting up automatically. Please try to allow TrafficMonitor to boot up automatically in the security software.

If you encountered this problem, that means the program does not have permission to write data to its directory, causing the settings data cannot be saved. Try to move the program to another folder that has write permissions will save this problem.
You can also change the save path of the configuration and data file to the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrafficMonitor directory by the following steps.
- Exit TrafficMonitor and restart TrafficMonitor as an administrator.
- Select "Options" in the right-click menu, switch to the "General Settings" tab, and select "Save to Appdata Directory" in "Configuration and data files".
If it still pops up the "Unable to Save Settings" message box, open the directory where the application is located, open the global_cfg.ini file. If it doesn't exist, create a new one, adding the following:
[config]
portable_mode = true
If the file cannot be created, you can create the file in a different location, such as the desktop, and then move to the directory where the program is located.
If the global_cfg.ini file already exists, change the value of portable_mode to true and save, then restart TrafficMonitor.
If global_cfg.ini does not have write permission, you can try copying the file to the desktop, and then copying it back to the original path to overwrite the original file after modified.
After these steps, this problem should not theoretically occur. If this problem still occurs, try to delete the file C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrafficMonitor\config.ini. This file will be regenerated after it is deleted.
