EA Desktop - Automatically launch app at startup

Hi all,

First of all I fully appreciate that the EA Desktop app is in BETA and the current roadmap shows what is currently being worked on and the future focus for development.

However, unless I've completely missed it, I don't see an option in the app or in the roadmap to toggle for it to automatically launch at start up.

Can I please get your thoughts on this?


Thanks

    I can't say anything about if and when this feature will be added, although I would be really surprised if it would not be added.

    In the meantime you can use the Windows task scheduler to start EA Desktop at system startup.

    Windows key + R

    type: shell:startup (Enter)

    Drag the EA app shortcut into the folder.

    @snapczterzYou can do this way easier, just do follow these steps :

    Windows key + R
    type: shell😕tartup (press enter)
    drag the EA app shortcut into the newly opened folder.

    That's all, and to stop it from auto starting when Windows starts just remove the shortcut from that folder

    //Edit - had to use code window else the forum stuff would put a smiley

  • What I've found to have to do to disable the start at launch is disable it in the startup tab of the windows task manager, which tells windows to remove it from the startup folder, or you can do window + R, then type shell😕tartup into that window, and remove any unwanted programs from the folder.

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
