My web research suggests that RegistryKey is case-insensitive. Is there a basis for your proposal?

I checked, you're right. It seems the error doesn't occur when I run RunCat from the source code, but it does when I run it from the app installed from the Microsoft Store.

It seems that it is because it is packaged app (MSIX) and this has restrictions that do not allow writing directly to the system registry outside of its isolated area. I will investigate further to see if I find the solution.

@mor39a
I've done quite a bit of research, and it seems that when distributing an app on the Microsoft Store, this feature cannot be provided. The app requires permission to insert a setting that auto-starts the app beyond the app's sandbox, and such actions are either blocked by binary validation or, if the app is distributed, the feature won't work. Therefore, unfortunately, we will have to remove this feature.

@Kyome22 That's unfortunate :(
After my last comment I was researching possible solutions, although I haven't managed to make it work yet. I'll let you know if I make any significant progress.
