... playback at PC power/startup? If possible, how to best implement?
(fwiw, if I exit WACUP during playback, starting a new WACUP session begins playback from last session's position, so, I can remember to do this before session exits.)
-thank you

Go to Preferences -> Playback -> Autoplay -> 'Extra Options' tab -> check the top option.
You should be able to check with Win10's task manager to see if it's been applied correctly via it's start-up tab. If it doesn't show then you may need to run WACUP once as an admin but it should work normally unless normal user permissions disallow it.

Awesome ... you are the WACUP god!

Good thing I already coded that in back around 2004/5 (the plug-in that implements that was my first one all those years back).

I know not what I did.
Originally, my scenario was to minimize WACUP to the taskbar prior to shutdown and it would be in this minimized state after power-up.
NOW, for reasons I cannot understand/fix, WACUP is appearing full screen (non-minimized) after power-up.
Help!

If it's been closed correctly then the last view state should be remembered between sessions unless you're using a modern skin (that's never properly worked with that behaviour & I don't have any plans to try & patch gen_ff to do it - it'll have to wait until I eventually make my own modern skin plug-in).
Alternatively if you're starting WACUP from a shortcut, the properties on that might have been changed & if you're always wanting it to start minimised (ignoring the modern skin issue) then you can set the 'run' action to minimised to try & force that.
Otherwise most likely the view state isn't being saved out either due to a crash on closing or it not having enough time to complete as can happen sometimes if other actions are being slow in the closing stage.

I have not exited it in weeks. An exit and a fresh open seems to have solved it. Thank you.

Were you suspending the system? If not I'm confused by what you're trying to describe.

Perhaps I should have made it a new post as I re-consider the relevance to this initial topic. Too late now, sorry ...Here is what I posted "... my scenario (NOW is) to minimize WACUP to the taskbar prior to (pc) shutdown and it would be in this minimized state after (pc) power-up.
Anyways, all is good now, my apologies
