Bigbox not automatically running on PC startup even though I set Windows to do it. Why?

I did the whole Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box. Type shell:startup and press Enter to open the Startup folder. Drag the BigBox executable shortcut into this folder thing.

When I start up PC nothing, does not load.  I can go to above mentioned startup folder double click shortcut from there it will start up fine.  I go to the apps startup thing and Bigbox is set to auto start.  I can start by having to manually click on the Bigbox shortcut on desktop, works fine.  Windows will just refuses to do it automatically.  Really confusing.  Is there some setting I am missing on Bigbox itself?  Is there another method I can use to autostart?  It is really lame to have a MAME cab where I need to mouse over to the Bigbox icon, double click, then wait to load.

Undo what you did in your startup folder then in Bog Box, go to System Menu < Options < General < Enable Using Big Box as the Windows Shell

Be sure to read all the fine print first.
