I don't like this feature at all.

Startup configuration should be done on OS level in a central location. Spreading things around into every single application makes you loose track of who is there and why and how.

We can't minimize boot to tray only by system settings.

I think the problem is precisely that there's no autostart option for sleek on the OS level, i.e. in the autostart menu of the Windows settings. As far as I can tell this means that the store version cannot be auto-started at all since a normal user (even as admin?) doesn't have the neccessary permissions to run sleek.exe directly (only from the Start Menu). A shortcut to the file can be placed in the autostart folder, and it even shows up in the Windows settings with a switch and all, but nothing happens during the OS startup. There's not even an error message.

I use 2 more apps from the Windows Store, QuickLook and KDE Connect, and, if I'm not mistaken, they both can only be made to autostart from the Windows settings. QuickLook has a context menu option for autostart when right-clicking the tray icon but it's greyed out, while KDE Connect doesn't seem to have any option on the app level.

I want to minimize boot to tray only by system settings, how?

apparently the devs need to implement a launch command that launches the app minimized in system tray , I couldn't find any way to do it my self

You can only minimize to the system tray if the application itself has that capability and tells you which switches to use in its command line to start it that way. There are no Windows commands to minimize applications to the system tray. https://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/190630-how-run-program-startup-minimized-system-tray.html

example (adding this to the launcher / shortcut): sleek --hide
