PanGPS service does not start after a reboot, requiring manual intervention.

After the laptop reboots, the GlobalProtect does not start automatically.

• Windows
• Global Protect any version
• Citrix software installed

• Check if there is any Citrix software installed that uses the FeatureFlagHelper64.dll. 
• Citrix software injects above DLL in some processes, including PanGPS, impacting the service and causing disruption on it, introducing delays in initiating services.
• Generate Windows events logs and check for crash or timeout errors.
   

1. Change PanGPS service from "automatic start" to "automatic delayed start".
   • Go to Windows Service Control > PANGPS > right click > properties> General > Automatic delayed restart.
2. If the above does not fix the problem, modify the registry and configure a 120-second delay.
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PANGPS > Create entry AutoStartDelay (DWORD (32-bit)) > assign value in ms, 120000.
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not fix the issue, uninstall Citrix or work with Citrix support to not inject the DLL into PanGPS. 

• The fastest way to test if Citrix is impacting PanGPS is by uninstalling Citrix and testing. If the issue disappears, Citrix is indeed impacting PanGPS.
• Refer to the official link from Citrix indicates that certain DLL are injected in some processes
