Hughesnet usage meter
fallteeth, first click on the little up arrow in lower right tray, then cutomize. Then choose to show notifications and icon. The meter opens into the tray when the desktop icon is clicked. You have to double click on the tray icon to actually open the meter.
This may sound a little ludicrous, but when you have the Usage Meter window open, go into the settings and uncheck "launch on startup." Click save, and wait for it to do so. Then, after the confirmation message has disappeared, do the same, but put the check mark back on "launch on startup." Click save again, then wait for the confirmation message to disappear. Then close the Usage Meter window, restart your computer, and see if it starts automatically.
I don't know why, but I've had an issue in the past with it not opening on its own. I did what I mentioned above and it seems to have fixed the problem. I don't know if the Meter just didn't catch that it was supposed to start automatically on computer startup and going through above gave it a kick, but whatever the case it worked for me. I can't guarantee that it will work, but it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

This doesn't work for me, but it seems I may have the "special" edition of Win 10 Home. :)
