I noticed today (and rebooted just to make sure) that my Simlink software (1.1.35.1406) is running every time I boot my computer, even though the Start Simlink on system setup box in the options is unchecked. I believe this just started happening with a recent update to the software.

Hi,

If you are using a third-party application like CCleaner, it may alter the Windows registry for startup programs.

To resolve this, please uninstall the Simlink application and clean up the Windows registry to locate and remove any entries related to Navigraph Simlink. After doing that, reinstall the Simlink application.

Thank you!

**Best Regards,**

Upon uninstalling and reinstalling Navigraph Simlink (with reboots in between), I am still encountering the same problem.  
I am not using applications like CCleaner on my computer.  
Is there a guide available to check the registry?
