Is this at power on or after printing something?

I would like to be able to do this anytime... I have G-CODE in my Simplify3D code to take the extruder to a neutral location after printing... im not looking for the printer to do anything on its own. I would like to be able to just select Auto Home and have the printer actually auto home without the process of selecting Disable Stepper and moving things manually.

# Ender 3 V2 auto homing

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-04-10)

With my Ender 3 V2, to home the extruder, I have to choose **Disable Stepper**, manually move the extruder to the X-axis stop switch; then select **Auto Home**. After that point everything homes correctly.

My question, is there a way to get the extruder to automatically move to the X-axis stop switch and then proceed to auto home after **Auto Home** is selected without selecting **Disable Stepper**?
