    Make pandora app auto start at boot


    How do I get the Pandora app to auto start at boot? Nothing to drag to create a link so I'm stumped.
    Apparently Pandora used to work this way but there were too many complaints so they changed it's behavior.

    I'm using a Dell tablet to run Pandora to play background music and would like it to start when I turn on the tablet.
    It's running Win 10 latest build.

    Do you mean that there is nother going to Profile > Settings icon > Advanced > Toggle switch on?

    If you can't do that, follow these steps:

    Right-click the Start button.
    Select Task Manager.
    Click the Startup tab. (If you don't see the Startup tab, select More details.)
    Select Pandora.
    Select Enable.

    @3nd, thanks but neither will work as there is no way to open the file location of the app executable. If I could find that this would be easy.


    @James, Pandora doesn't show up in Startup tab of Task Manager on the tablet. Strange as it does show up on this desktop when I start the Pandora app.

    If there isn't an option for Open file location, it means the app can't run at startup.

    I bet there's a way to do it with Task Scheduler. How... I have no clue.

    Maybe with a "command", run at startup by Task Scheduler.
    The "command" would do whatever you normally do, to start Pandora.
    And because command prompt does have an executable, it could be scheduled.

    @Ghot, to start Pandora, I click on it from the Start menu. What I need to know is what is being executed when I click on Pandora in the Start menu?

    Got it working by creating a shortcut on the Desktop that allowed me to do so (no idea why the tablet didn't) then copying the shortcut to the tablet and adding it to

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Rebooted and Pandora auto-started so I'm happy. I don't understand why the difference between the Desktop and Tablet but it's working.
