How to make EA app run on startup?

Hello everyone, As the title suggested, is it possible to make EA app run on startup and minimized as well just like what Origin does? And how to do it? Thanks in advance.

    Hey all, 

    Launching the EA app on Windows startup is now a feature that is available on the latest build of the EA app. This feature is configurable on the Settings page: Settings -> Application -> Open the EA app automatically on startup.

    Thank you for the feedback about this!

@EA_QueenBee I can't wait for that feature to arrive to EA Desktop!

Update: Using a Task Scheduler will actually manage to run EA Desktop at startup, but you can't launch any game because EA app will pop up an error message saying "Your game failed to launch". I had to exit EA app completely then run it again, that way I can launch the game without issues.

you've selected the wrong .exe in task scheduler, & as for start minimized I've found the --silent argument works, see below.
