Autostart works different on the newer releases.
Open the File Manager and select View -> Show Hidden.
You should see a .config folder. Change to that folder.
Right click on the list of files and select "New Folder".
Enter "autostart" as the name.
Now you should have a "./.config/autostart" folder.
Create a file named "test.desktop" in the "./.config/autostart" folder.
Here is my test.desktop file.
Set the file permissions on test.desktop file as "executable by anyone"
Reboot.
BTW, I'm using Bookworm on a RPi5.
Edit: You can move or copy a desktop file from your /Desktop folder,
If it runs there when you double click it, it will autostart in the "./.config/autostart" folder.
