On Windows 11, if you have a few apps you open immediately every time you sign into your account, you can configure them to launch automatically to save extra steps and get to them faster.
You have at least four ways to auto-start an app on Windows 11. If the app can start automatically by design, you can control this behavior from the "Startup" settings page or the app's preference page. In addition, you can place a shortcut in the "Startup" folder, which the system will detect and run to launch the program automatically, or you can create a task to launch the app automatically as the user logs in.
