The workaround does not work, emClient still shows the splash screen, sometimes it gets minimized, sometimes it does not, and most often it restores itself from the tray after it got minimized by Windows. I am going to create a feature request in the appropriate space and do hope that this community here is not toxic like so many others. @lancealot thanks for your thoughtful reply. I do understand that not everyone wants the program to start automatically, or minimized, or in the tray, or … and that this feature might be low on the feature list if there are more serious issues with the program. Nonetheless it is a valid feature request. Especially considering that other programs have this since 20+ years (I am thinking of Skype during the XP days for instance). A workaround should not be necessary, and obviously the stated workaround does not work around it.
