No option to prevent starting with Windows?

[roxya]

Using the Windows installer version, I'm very surprised the app automatically creates itself as a startup and provides no option to prevent it. Of course I can disable it in my Windows startups but there must be an in-app option to not start automatically with Windows.

I would also like to see this issue resolved. I am able to only temporarily disable the app from Windows Startup. Usually after a restart or two, the app automatically enables itself at Startup. To my knowledge, there is no setting within the app itself to disable auto-start.

Any updates with this? Thank you. 🖤

It would make sense to have it configurable from the settings menu.

I'll include this in the revamped version of the app.

I came here to report a bug and found this related issue.

In the Windows 10 task manager, tab startup, it is possible to disable the autostartup of Pomatez. It stays disabled as long as I don't open the app. But if I open the app, autostartup goes to true again automatically.

I assume the issue is what is setting the autostart always runs on start.

As we don't store if this has been set in the past or if already exists and has been manually edited, that will currently set it every launch.

It may be worth also seeing if the value has been set before and is manually changed though I am unsure if you can only get if its true or false or if its even been set in the first place.

Though the change @roldanjr will be adding will make this possible via our settings rather than the task manager.

I'll add the configs, settings, tasks and etc to a local database soon, so this will no longer be a problem.
