Description

The opposite of #10699 I think. I don't really know, Dustin said to file this during triage so I did.

If you have startOnLogin: false, and enable us in the task manager, then when we boot, we'll turn it back off.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the startOnLogin setting and the logic that resets the task manager state. Trace the initialization path to understand why enabling via task manager is overridden.
