Xiaomi MIUI 14.0.11 - Macrodroid won't start only after mobile reboot

Hello, today I installed macrodroid for the first time on my new Xiaomi Redme Note12 - MIUI 14.0.11 mobile phone
I have followed all the instructions given to allow the application to run in the background in the standard way and from my tests everything seems to be working, e.g. the macros start even when the screen is locked. However, when I restart the phone Macrodroid does not start automatically. You have to unlock the lock screen (with its password) and only then does Macrodroid start correctly in the background.
Before writing, I searched the forum, but as the phone and MIUI model is very recent, I couldn't find any useful information to solve the problem. If possible, I would like to avoid manipulating the phone as I have no in-depth knowledge of the subject (like accessing it in chroot, etc.). I would kindly ask for your advice on how to solve the problem.
Thank you very much

Unfortunately it's not possible as MacroDroid doesn't support the feature "Secure Boot" (apps can run even when device is locked) and it won't be added because "the possibilities in this state are too limited".

Dear Endercraft,
thank you for clear and fast answer.
Just last question: "this limitation is only for some Mobile/O.S. like MIUI, or for all mobile/O.S.?
thank you

best regards,

updated: maybe I have found the answer:
h**ps://trust.mi.com/docs/miui-security-white-paper-global/2/2

It is something that is implemented in Xiaomi mobiles i guess and maybe in others mobiles brands
