Noob question RE changing autostart on boot (Windows 10)
OK, after a long hiatus I reinstalled FAH. Thought I was being cute n clever making it a "manual start" thinking that it would be an easy toggle. Nope. Am I missing something obvious? How can I change my current install to start at boot? Again, Windows 10, don't want to do any weird Bios stuff. Thank you so much!

Reinstalling the client is the easiest way.
If you’re paranoid, finish and pause folding before the reinstall.
Start at logon is accomplished by a shortcut in the all users start items.

The passkey? That is probably in config.xml in the data directory. You can always request it again with same email and username.

Reinstall should not alter your config. Do not uninstall.

An easy way to retrieve your fah passkey...
Open the Web Control
Click on "Change Identity" under your name and team number.
put your cursor in the passkey location and all the dots (hiding your passkey)
Now use "CTRL a" to highlight all the passkey
and "CTRL c" to copy it to your clipboard
Then you can paste it into a text document on your desktop for safe keeping.
If for some reason paste is not an option you can use CTRL v
