Are upfitter switches powered when truck is remote started?
2015 KR. want to install a high idle kit controlled by an upfitter. If I remote start the truck with the upfitter left on, will that switch be powered while the truck is remote started, activating my high idle?

No, there are very few components powered when using Ford remote start. Aftermarket remote start usually powers many items.

I just double checked for you. My LEDs are on the Upfitter and they do not come on when remote started

no, you'll need to run your own relay

It is an easy modification to power the upfitter switches during remote start. Instructions are contained in this thread:

Let me know if you have any questions about the mod.
