    Adding it to the Startup folder (via shell:startup) doesn't make it start minimised.

    It's already annoying beyond belief that I have to see the entire app open and load... I don't care. I will open it when I need to view it, otherwise I want it minimised by default.

    This issue should seriously get more attention. "Future consideration" on something that was previously available and reported 2 years ago makes no sense to me.

    easy fix.
    1: find curseforge filepath

    2: select copy on the curseforge app

    3: rightclick windows button and select run

    4: type "shell:startup" in run box

    5: select paste shortcut

    voila!

    Why isn't this available? Laziness?

    This really shouldn't be on the "Future consideration" backlog for over 2 years.

    Such an implementation does not require a lot of effort but would massively increase the user friendliness of the app.

    this needs to happen in the standalone app. i am constantly getting addon notifications for my wow addons because i keep forgetting to open curseforge when i start up my computer and can get a bit tedious to keep needing to open curseforge standalone.
