# How to change app settings in eclean

App Settings controls how eclean behaves as an application, including general app preferences and monitoring-related options. It is the right place to adjust behavior before assuming a feature page is broken.

| Settings can change how eclean behaves, but they do not replace Windows system settings that are controlled by policy, drivers, or another app.

### How to change app settings

1. **Open App Settings:** Go to **Settings > App Settings**.
2. **Use search if needed:** Search for the setting name if the page has several sections.
3. **Review General settings:** Change general app behavior only when you understand the preference.
4. **Review Monitoring settings:** Adjust monitoring if sensors or live metrics are enabled or disabled.
5. **Check optional sections:** **Discord Rich Presence** appears only when that feature is available, and Atlas Mode appears only when eclean detects AtlasOS.
6. **Save or confirm changes:** Follow any on-screen confirmation or save behavior shown by the setting.

### If a setting is missing

* The feature may be behind a feature flag.
* The setting may appear only on supported Windows configurations.
* Atlas Mode appears only when AtlasOS is detected.
* Discord Rich Presence appears only when the feature is available in the current build.

### If eclean is not in your Startup folder

**Launch at startup** does not create a normal `shell:startup` shortcut. eclean uses a Windows Scheduled Task for its own sign-in launch behavior. See [Why eclean does not appear in the Startup folder](launch-at-startup.md) if you are checking startup items and cannot find eclean where you expected it.
