How to confirm Optifi Windows agent will start at Windows boot?

Optifi agent installer adds a registry entry during installation to start agent at Windows boot.

During installation, the agent installer adds a registry entry that makes OptifiAgentUI.exe launch automatically when Windows starts. This ensures the Optifi Agent is always running immediately after the system boots—without requiring the user (admin or non-admin) to start it manually.

To verify the existance of this entry follow steps below.

  1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
  2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  3. Look for the entry named Optifi-Agent

  4. Confirm that its value points to the executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\AccessAgility\Optifi Agent\OptifiAgentUI.exe

  5. If it's there, Optifi Agent will start at boot
