3. "Auto run when Windows start" dose not work

The auto run function of the program is achieved by creating the "TrafficMonitor" key in the registry path of "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run". If you encounter the problem of auto run dose not work, please check that the registry exists, and then check the program path is correct. If you move the location of the program, the auto run will be invalid because of the program location being invalid. In this case, you only need to uncheck "Auto run when Windows start" in the option settings, and then check it on.
If you set the program to run as an administrator, the auto run function will also not work. Please try to remove running as an administrator.

4. The program pops up the "Unable to Save Settings" message box.

For V1.72 and previous versions, if this happens, the program does not have permission to write data to its directory, causing the settings data cannot be saved. In this case, move the program to another folder that has write permissions will save this problem.
In V1.73 and later versions, this problem should not theoretically occur because the configuration file has been moved to the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrafficMonitor directory. If this problem still occurs, try to delete the file C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrafficMonitor\config.ini. This file will be regenerated after it is deleted.

However, if you encounter the problem that clicking the blank area of the taskbar window (the area pointed by the arrow at "3" in the figure below) will pop up the taskbar right-click menu instead of the TrafficMonitor right-click menu, you can try the following steps:

1. Click "Background color" to bring up the "Color" dialog box.
2. Click the "Select" button to choose a color from the screen.
3. Select the color of the blank area of the taskbar window (the area pointed by the arrow at "3" in the figure). (Yes, it doesn't matter whether the taskbar is transparent or what color your wallpaper is. Just select it directly, I don't know why ...)
4. Set the transparent color to exactly the same as the background color just now.

After doing this, click on the empty area of the taskbar window will pop up the TrafficMonitor right-click menu normally, even if you change the wallpaper or restart the computer.
