Hello dear expert(s):

I have configured MS Outlook to be launched by a mouse gesture and pointed FastKeys to the outlook.exe in the folder where it is usually called from (I double checked properties tab of the Outlook icon on my Desktop, gives the same path/file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE)

When I launch Outlook by double clicking the icon, it starts with my pre-defined Outlook profile, and I can see all my email accounts.

However, when launching via FastKeys gesture, the computer DOES launch outlook but asks to enter admin credentials and to define emails accounts from scratch.

Likewise, when launching Chrome as a browser, it seems like I have to login into the google account again, plus following any bookmark in the title list of Chrome, websites prompt me for login information (eg Facebook, Instagram, Discord, ..). When launching Chrome from the desktop icon, I do NOT need to re-enter all my credentials.

This is very annoying.

It seems like the profile handling of User Acces Rights handling is done differently when using FastKeys visa using the standard program calling procedure. Any ideas how to resolve this?
