whkd is not installed.

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Sam

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Sam

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\Sam\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Dec 16, 2025):

There is no support for auto-starting as an Administrator user and the docs don't make any claim that the enable-autostart command supports this use case

shell:startup, which komorebic enable-autostart uses under the hood, is explicitly scoped to the user running the command

I'm not against someone opening a PR to add support for enabling autostart as admin through other means, but I'm closing this because it's not a bug either in implementation or documentation
