    Startup program starts minimized when in Tablet mode


    Hi,
    I need Windows 10 to boot directly to a program. Whatever I try .vbs, .bat or just shortcut in Startup folder, it always starts minimized to task bar. When I click on the task bar it gets blown up full screen.

    Once I turn off the Tablet mode it starts good, maximized.

    How can I solve this so it boot in Tablet mode AND start the program in proper size?

    NOTE: I use touch screen but I dont think it maters.

    Thanks,
    S@

    In Tablet mode, the start menu is prioritized to the front so any startup program running will be minimized.

    Try this:

    To make Start full screen and see everything in one view, go to Start button, then Settings  > Personalization  > Start, and then turn on Use Start full screen.

    It is already in Full screen. I want it that way so I can get out the maximum from the touch panel.

    Well, IMO it's just by design that when you start in Tablet mode, the start screen will be shown in foreground no matter what by minimizing the window of the startup programs. A quick way to get around this is to start on desktop mode with full screen start then swipe on the right corner then tap on tablet mode.

    So there is no way to have an app open in tablet mode on start-up? The start menu will be in front always? I'm trying to get the camera app to be full screen on start-up.

    I still haven't find a way to overcome this so I settled to full width Start menu.

    I came up with a workaround. Put the program into the startup folder and then I used Mini Mouse Macro as a mouse recorder to start the program in tablet mode. One click on the windows icon and one in the field did the trick.

    I use this PC as a Jukebox. I need to be started and get the app on the full screen. Clicking more buttons dont make sense here. Otherwise I would click the app in the task bar.

    Does anyboby found an acceptable solution to this problem ?
    I tried to create an UWP application with a StartupTask but when tablet mode is enabled, my application always starts minimized and I have to press Alt+Tab to display it.
