V5.0 Run Sighthound Video at system startup doesn't show app GUI.
It loads a bunch of processes in the background (Sighthound Agent.exe), the shlaunch.exe service is running but the main app it does not show. I have to start it manually.

The auto start feature of Sighthound Video cannot open the GUI automatically. It runs as a system service which will launch and begin recording at system boot when no users are logged in and there is nowhere to display any user interface. If you want the user interface to be displayed when your user account logs in you can add the app to the startup folder of your account on windows or System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items for your account on macOS.
