After installing the audio server for the first time from the NVDA Remote Audio menu in the NVDA Tools menu, the server doesn't start after I reboot Windows. I have to manually launch the program at C:\NVDARemoteAudioServer\NVDARemoteAudioServer.exe to get it to work properly, and it doesn't appear any scheduled tasks or startup items are configured anywhere. If I delete the folder at the root of my C drive, selecting the install option doesn't ask for another UAC prompt, but it correctly downloads and starts the server. If UAC permissions aren't required after subsequent operations, why use it in the first place?

Fixed in v0.1.14: https://github.com/serrebidev/NVDARemoteAudioClient/releases/tag/v0.1.14

The add-on now creates a per-user Startup shortcut for NVDARemoteAudioServer, repairs existing installs on add-on startup or when the install menu item is selected, and only uses UAC for the optional Windows Firewall rules.
