Looked in the documentation but can't find the answer to this question: Where in FFS can I configure two batch jobs to automatically start when my PC reboots? Prefer an in-app setting if it exists, as opposed to creating startup shortcuts or editing the registry.
More details: I have two backup (not sync) jobs running. A continuous backup from my local OneDrive folder to external drive D, and another from drive D to drive E. I used Windows Task Scheduler to configure the latter, triggered hourly. I want to keep this trigger as is, not use TS's "run on startup" option.
How to set two FFS jobs to automatically start on reboot?

You can/do not do that in FFS.
You use the Windows Task Scheduler (one task per sync job) as described here,
or you put two shortcuts in the Autostart folder as described here for RTS.
Your shortcut should then invoke FFS to run a specific sync configuration, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "D:\Backup1.ffs_batch" and
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "D:\Backup2.ffs_batch"
