I couldn’t find a fix for FxSound not starting minimized to the system tray but I figured out a solution, so I wanted to share.

This is on WIndows 11
These are the exact steps I took.

Start computer and have FxSound open
Go to Run
type %appdata%
click the folder Fxsound
Click the file FxSound.settings and open with Notepad
Find the line
Change the 0 to 2
Go to File > Save
Exit notepad
Minimize FxSound
Right click FxSound on taskbar and close it. (It should go to system tray)
Shut down the PC (don’t reboot-Shut down.)

This worked for me. I am not computer savvy, so maybe these steps are stupid or obvious, but it worked for me. Hope this helps someone.

THIS IS ONLY AN EDIT TO IMPROVE READABILITY. THIS METHOD IS NOT A BEST PRACTICE.

Start computer and have FxSound open
Go to Run
type %appdata%
click the folder Fxsound
Click the file FxSound.settings and open with Notepad
Find the line which begins *<VALUE name=“run_minimized”
Change the existing value to 2
Go to File > Save
Exit notepad
Minimize FxSound
Right click FxSound on taskbar and close it. (It should go to system tray)
Shut down the PC (don’t reboot-Shut down.)

Yes, sorry, not sure what happened but yes, the line that starts “run minimized”

I tested this on me main PC and laptop and it has been working for both.
