Open at startup in the background

Can it be turned on and self-starting, and the window is closed directly after opening, there is no sign, but it is turned on and self-starting

ps: At present, it is turned on and self-starting. I need to close the window after turning it on. Although it is only a click, it will affect the experience very much, thank you!

Are you using Windows or macOS? Have you changed your setting so that the program launches when you turn in your computer?

[shoudeyunkaijianyueming]

I am a mac, and this is how I use it, but after setting it like this, a window will appear every time I turn it on.

[shoudeyunkaijianyueming]

It looks like this when booting, and I don't want this window to appear, it's silent in the background

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like this might take more than just a little work to do, so it might not happen for awhile.

For macOS we can use the openAsHidden flag of app.setLoginItemSettings, but it only works on macOS non-MAS builds. However, we should be able to pass a custom argument to detect opening at startup and avoid creating the window.

Eagerly waiting for a solution in windows.

For windows, you can create a shortcut to the application at C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\. Windows supports defining launch arguments with shortcuts
