Does anyone know of any app that using Wolfgang launcher can auto load an app on startup?
i searched for âWolfgang launcherâ and got zero results ?
not sure if this will help but foundâŚ.
Android TV / Google TV:
Use the Launch On Boot app from the Google Play Store. After installation, enable the app, select your desired app, and toggle on âLaunch on bootâ and âLaunch on wake.â For some devices like Sony Bravia, enable Bravia Pro Mode (via a button sequence on the remote) to access startup app settings.
yeah i kinda figured that, but im weird that way, i hear/read the words that are used, and respond accordingly, my sister does that ALL the time, and when i respond she says thatâs not what i meant, and i say, WELL, thatâs what you said so my answer standsâŚ.
Searched in Google play no app called launch on boot, but downloaded Autostart manager, it did load the app I wanted to auto load, I also have a problem with Surfshark not logging into VPN on reboot of my shield so added it to Autostart manager but it didnât work, I have to always have to open Surfshark manually, I have a support ticket open with their support and they are investigating. Any input would be appreciated
Look in Troys toolbox for launch on boot
Surfshark not loading on start of streamer box can stem from several causes, especially on devices like Google TV or Chromecast. Here are the most effective troubleshooting steps:
-
Check for App Availability: The Surfshark app may not appear in the Google Play Store on your streamer box due to regional restrictions or device compatibility. Try searching directly for âSurfsharkâ or use a third-party launcher like Projectivity Launcher to install it manually.
-
Enable âDiscover on LANâ: On some devices, this setting in the Surfshark appâs Advanced Settings allows the app to detect and connect properly. Go to Settings > Advanced > Discover on LAN and turn it on.
-
Restart and Reinstall: Uninstall the app completely, restart the streamer box, then reinstall the latest version from the official Surfshark website or Play Store.
-
Verify Service Status: If the app starts but doesnât connect, check the background service. On Android TV, go to Settings > Apps > Surfshark > Permissions > Background Services and ensure itâs allowed to run.
-
Use Custom DNS or Restart Router: Sometimes network-level issues prevent the app from initializing. Try resetting your router or using custom DNS (e.g., 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) on your streamer box.

this is all i got from a searchâŚ.you have a ticket already so maybeâŚ..

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the surfshark, no help. No discover on lan in my surfshark settings. do not want to modify DNS, since other apps like Nordvpn and Expressvpn do not behave this way and they auto connect, in nvidia settings checked for permissions and no issues there.
