M2 Mac Still doesn't start app automatically

[Yepitsmeposting]

Before opening the issue, have you...?

• Searched for existing issues
• Looked through the wiki
• Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the bug

Since I upgraded to M2, even with updated OSX and Monitor Control app, I cannot get the app to start automatically after a restart or power on. This is even though Monitor Control app is set to start on start up (see screenshots below). I also provided a shallow overview of my Mac Studio specs below. What can be done to resolve this? I really like the app but it is a pain to manually open it every time.

Steps to reproduce

I cannot get the app to start automatically after a restart or power on. This is even though Monitor Control app is set to start on start up

Expected behavior

That I am after startup, able to change the brightness settings with my keyboard f1 and f2 keys without manually starting the app

Anything else?

No response

I have an almost identical issue on an M2 machine: difference for me is that a volume with MonitorControl is mounted on login instead of actually launching the application.

When I Right Click > Show In Finder it also mounts it instead of showing me the actual application. It's the only item that does that, all others show me the app within the application folder. Looks to be app specific.

@waydabber any thoughts?
