My end goal is to be able to use calibredb to read and write to my books directory on Windows 10 boot. Currently, I've saved a shortcut of calibre.exe in my startup folder which launches the interface when I log in. This works fine, but I would like to accomplish this without a required log in. I use NSSM for the rest of my services, but pointing NSSM at the executable does not work. When launching via NSSM, nothing happens.

Anyone else figured this out? Should I use NSSM for the server only? My settings launch the server when I start the application.
