To add to it, would be nice to have "Start minimized/in tray"

@lostmsu that is already available in Element Nightly

as for this issue it is unlikely to be actioned as the config has the likelihood of drifting and not representing reality, given the actual config which stores whether the app will auto-start belongs to the OS, e.g. in Windows registry, rather than a file owned by a given application.
