since [Starting minimized](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/starting-minimized/497) was closed I still face the same problem. would be great to get an update since installing another app (which is not free) isnt a real solutions. appreciate it

@chai can you please minimise FxSound and share this file content,  
%APPDATA%\FxSound\FxSound.settings  
If FxSound is minimised, the settings will be updated and on reboot, FxSound will start minimised.  
Also please share the output of the command,  
icacls %APPDATA%\FxSound\FxSound.settings  
There is a possibility that settings is not getting updated because of access permissions to the file/folder.

Hi @chai,  
Making settings file read-only will prevent any changes to get saved and reflected on application restart. Read-only settings file is not a normal scenario and we will not be able to support any unexpected behaviour arising further after such manual tweak.
