I discovered that this might be the case if somehow your ~/.config/autostart changes it's owner to root. To check if that's the case, do:
ls -l ~/.config if the output is something like this: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Out 19 17:22 autostart Then all u need to do is: cd ~/.config && sudo chown -R autostart "yourusername" And you are good to go. At least fixed my problem.
