skar Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I have a fresh install of Sync. On startup, Sync main window pops-up. It should stay minimized. Sync version and system OS details attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reavy Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I just updated to Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299, and now Sync shows the window on startup despite having /MINIMIZED appended to the registry entry. Has anyone else seen this behavior since updating to the Fall Creators Update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien M Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yep I have this exact same problem since Fall creator update on my laptop and my PC. It's pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasS Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I came here to troubleshoot the very same issue. Resilio Sync Home Pro pops up at startup on all my devices, stealing focus from other applications, despite the /MINIMIZED flag being present in the registry. I know this seems a minor annoyance, easy fixable with one mouse click, but this also happens on my media center pc, which I control only with a TV remote. All my devices run Windows 10 Pro, all patched to Version 1709, OS Build 16299.125. This happens on fresh install as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might have to do with Windows updating. Couldn't your devs store this preference somewhere more decoupled from windows than the registry?

Helen Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Fall Creators Update? please see it discussed here It's a new Window's feature . Either quit Sync before shutting down PC, or try the suggestions from google, like this or this or any other you might like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use plenty of apps that start in the background, whose windows I can access via the taskbar and they do not add a window to the desktop on startup. Examples: Backup and Sync from Google, Radeon Settings, Wincompose, Discord... They all have windows I can make appear via their taskbar menus, and yet, they do not do so unprompted on each startup.

internalin Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 The key was already set to MINIMIZED for me and I was still having the same issue. The following did work, however. After the Fall Creator’s Update, Windows automatically reopens apps that were open upon restart or shutdown. This includes Sync. To disable this, navigate to the following location: Settings > Accounts > Sign-In Options Scroll down to Privacy on the right and then set the following to Off: Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update or restart. This will fix the issue and Sync will still start, but will do so minimized to the tray. Note that this will disable the automatic reopening of other apps upon restart, if that is a deal breaker for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resilio really needs to ape whatever behavior prevents the countless other startup programs from exhibiting this problem. If users are going to trust Resilio with important information then it can't adopt the look of abandonware. That's what a year old UI glitch looks like.

skar Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) This is not solved. This should be an option in the settings UI of Resylio Sync, not something that requires a change to global behavior in system settings or a registry hack. If google sync, dropbox, even my shareware audio manager can do it, so should this software. It has nothing to with the windows version: any of them has a way to start an app in the background on startup, i.e. as system tray icon. Whatever default behavior was introduced by a recent windows update, these apps found a way around it. You might tell me it is hard to do with your current codebase, but it is certainly possible and expected from sync apps to start silently, without popping windows on startup.

This worked for me, thank you I also discovered that if your power button is set to shutdown, invoking a shutdown this way stops apps reopening on a reboot too.

Jan Thomä Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Well it's 2020 now and I am still seeing this issue. Will this be addressed by a future update? I bought the pro version two months ago and I'm a little concerned that this is not really being addressed by the developers here. At least something like "we're working on it" would go a long way, even if it may be difficult to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Felt has nothing been in the software for a longer time. The update from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4 was an inevitable patch. If you read through the threads, you will read about bugs that would justify regular updates. In this way it was used in the past. I see it in the Syncthing Forum that loyal Resilio fans are migrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesGecko Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yeah, I've got eleven other applications that start to the system tray on boot without popping up a window. It's weird that this bug has persisted for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
