UWP app start automatically at startup

by

It seems that MS will add this feature – windows.startupTask – not only for converted desktop apps, but also UWP apps.

You can see it from about 37:00

But this feature is not ready yet – It’ll be available with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.(I’ve tried with SDK 16225 but not ready yet)

Added 12/18/2017 – You can do it with Win10 Fall Creators Update.Following post show the details.

One consideration point is: By the feature, you can just ‘start’ the app – the app window is not shown. To see the app window, the user should click the app task at the task bar. It’s a slightly ridiculous implementation for me. From the view of customer, ‘click to start’ and ‘click to activate’ is same behavior. You can do the some task in background before the user activate the app, but this is an another story.
