Adguard - Ad Blocker

This latest version of AdGuard, prevents it to load with Windows. It can be opened manually, however, it will load automatically. Has anyone else found this problem?

 

No, haven't had this issue. It might be worth reinstalling. Or toggle the launch at start setting.

 

Jack, thank you… I appreciate the help.
I’ve tried re-installing… but no luck. Basically, I’m having the same issue as reported here:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardforWindows/issues/5405

 

That's odd. Are you missing the registry entry? If so you could take the below text, paste into notepad, save as a .reg file and merge it with a double click:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adguard"="\"C:\\Program Files\\AdGuard\\Adguard.exe\" /nosplash"

 

Jack, thank you! I’ll give it a try as soon as I get home.

 

Jack, that Registry key worked like a charm. Thank you, again… Much appreciated the help.

Does anyone have experience with the Adguard Extra extension?

The AG Extra extension is out since 2019, but in AG for Windows:

I use the AG for Windows so I have no idea for the AG Extra browser extension.

 

I haven't used the extension, I used the alternate solution which is the userscript in ViolentMonkey. It serves some specific purpose like blocking twitch ads. It works well on twitch.
Similar to @anon I have also used it in AdGuard for Desktop app where it is enabled by default.

 

OK thanks I will give it a try.
