================================================================================

QUICK START - CHOOSE ONE:
================================================================================

[ 2 ] Auto-Start on Reboot (One-Time Setup)

    Right-click:  SIMPLE_AUTO_START_SETUP.bat
    Select:      "Run as administrator"

    After this, the controller starts automatically when you log in.

TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================

Port Errors?               All startup scripts now handle this automatically
Python Not Found?          Install Python from python.org and check "Add to PATH"
Script Won't Run?          Run: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

View logs:                 data\logs\auto-start.log

================================================================================
WHAT'S NEW
================================================================================

All startup scripts have been upgraded to:
  - Automatically detect and stop port conflicts
  - Use absolute paths (no more "file not found" errors)
  - Provide comprehensive logging
  - Work reliably every time

No complex setup needed. Just use QUICK_START.bat or set up auto-start once.
