PCPanel won't adjust the volume for certain programs if it is not run in administrator mode, specifically Discord and Better Discord when it is also run in administrator mode. PCPanel will adjust the volume only when it is also run in administrator mode, but after checking the "Run as Administrator" option in Properties on both the launch shortcut and .exe in the main file location, it no longer boots up on Windows start up. I tried to fix this using a workaround with Task Scheduler, and I can get it to launch (in administrator mode without the prompt as well) but it will not launch minimized using this method even after adding the /background argument as suggested by some folks.

I haven't had time to look into this yet. I haven't needed to start it as administrator myself but I also don't use Discord :).
I'll try and see if I can add an option in the installer to start as administrator when I do have time.

Starting in the background isn't done using pcpanel.exe /background but by using pcpanel.exe quiet.

Having the same issue with admin mode (also because of Discord lol)
Will try the scheduler workaround for now.
