Launch on system start fails

Hi, I searched the archives but didn’t find an answer.
I’m running Windows 10
Cryptomator 1.5.14

I can start Cryptomator manually. But when I click “Launch Cryptomator on system start” it fails. This has been happening for some time, across numerous Cryptomator updates. I get a window

“An unexpected error occurred”

A search indicates that this error code is thrown if a path is not found.

Since version 1.5.11 Cryptomator uses the autostart folder and not the registry for automatic application start. The default path points to $HOME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Is this path present on your filesystem?

Thank you
I was missing the directory and created it, and it no longer errors.
