@aaronaxvig To run MagicMirror automatically on startup:

Create a .bat file and put it in the startup folder (Windows Explorer > type “shell:startup” without quotes in the address bar).
Set the contents of the bat file:

cd your MagicMirror Git repository folder
npm start

I created a forum account just to say THANK YOU! I was getting auth errors in the node_helper of my module that I could not trace using the browser side tools. Debugging the server side with VS Code got it fixed in 5 minutes flat!
