disabling protmaster from startup

[toz7ekma]

What would you like to add or change?:

• i think some of the core services still maintain to startup even when the app is disabled from startup .
• please make all the portmaster components don't startup as the app is disabled from startup.

describing the issue : (os : windows 11)

• with portmaster startup enabled : after a fresh boot , i manually closed portmaster , then i opened my game and played as usual (cs2)
• with portmaster startup disabled : after a fresh boot , i opened my game but couldn't connect to any server .

Why do you and others need this?:
regardless from the connectivity issues this kinda "bug" could cause , it also slow down boot time even when the app is disabled on startup!

and thanks!

Hey @toz7ekma, I don't understand what you are trying to say.
Please elaborate.

If you do not want Portmaster to start on boot, you need to disable the system service "Portmaster Core".

ok sorry , the startup problem is no big deal i think .
will focus on why Portmaster doesnt firewall the executed commands (like cmd or powershell) , it doesnt even appear in the Portmaster UI that cmd or powershell is using internet !!
how is that !
and thanks!
