Research direction

Start by tracing how Windhawk launches at Windows startup and opens its main window; the issue does not name a file or test. Determine whether startup can avoid showing the window while keeping Windhawk running, and confirm the behavior on launch. Done means Windhawk starts without automatically opening its main window.

Description

enhancement

As the title says, can Windhawk be set to start silently? I don't need to open WindHawk's main window automatically every time I boot, nor do I check the mod list every day. Thanks!
