‘Automatically launch on Windows startup’ is not working #1

Closed lalomartins closed 4 years ago

lalomartins commented 4 years ago

Apparently, a ‘regular’ app packed and installed via store can't be executed by a traditional shortcut, so the ‘Automatically launch on Windows startup’ option is not working when the app is installed from the store.

Should be fixed in 1.1. Currently in certification.

I would like to confirm the fix, but the success was unfortunately partial.

After enabling the option in the app, it didn't launch in the next login. So I remembered something I read somewhere, and went to Task Manager, Startup tab, and it was there, but disabled. I enabled it, logged out, logged in again, and this time it launched correctly.

I don't know if there's a way to automate that. If not, then I guess add a message telling the user to do it?

I will make a new issue about this new behavior. I noticed the same thing when I was testing the update via the store on my laptop. Did you restart your PC after the update? The API is supposed to try to enable the on login behavior but there may be some async issue.

Yes, I restarted. After the restart the app didn't start, and it was disabled in the startup tab.
