So far this problem only persists with qBittorrent and Steam. I have noticed that if I log into Ubuntu soon after it boots up, these programs run perfectly fine and appear in the indicator bar at the top of the screen. But if I hit the power button, leave for ~30 minutes, and return to log in, these programs have visibly been executed (their processes are visible in the System Monitor), but are not accessible from the indicator bar and seem to not be functional.
I have noticed that if I kill the processes executed at startup and re-run them, everything will work as expected.
I have attempted to log output for each of these programs with little success. qBittorrent logs nothing, and Steam logs this when executed by startup:
Code:
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.10 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
And when Steam is killed and re-run, this is logged:
Code:
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.10 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.10 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to:
/home/max/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
It is possible I am not logging correctly, so here is the file for /home/max/.config/autostart/steam.desktop. I added a delay of 30 seconds hoping it might fix something, but alas, it did not:

This time with a delay of 60 seconds.
Under normal circumstances (without logging) the commands for execution are /usr/games/steam %U and qbittorrent %U for Steam and qBittorrent respectively.
I can provide additional information upon request. After waiting and searching for several months I haven't found anyone else with this issue. Thank you in advance.
