Hr auto-start chain (Windows reboot → ready)

Created: 2026-06-27 Status: Active

Boot sequence

1. User logs into Windows.
2. DockerDesktop.lnk in Startup folder → Docker Desktop launches.
   • Path: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\DockerDesktop.lnk
3. Container headroom-proxy has --restart unless-stopped → auto-starts when daemon is ready.
4. Safety net: Task Scheduler DockerHeadroomEnsure fires at logon+60s, then every 10min for 1h, running docker start headroom-proxy (idempotent). Catches slow daemon boot.

Recovery (manual)

"C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe" start headroom-proxy

Or trigger the safety net:

schtasks.exe -Run -TN DockerHeadroomEnsure

Disable

# Remove startup shortcut
del "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\DockerDesktop.lnk"

# Remove safety-net task
schtasks.exe -Delete -TN DockerHeadroomEnsure -F

Notes

• Old HeadroomProxyAtLogin task (pipx Hr) is disabled; superseded by Docker.
• XML source: c:\D\oriz\.staging\docker-headroom-ensure.xml (UTF-16 LE).
• SID baked into task XML: S-1-5-21-74642-3284969411-2123768488-2802703.
