I follow this article to startup my UWP app when system reboot but it does not work.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.applicationmodel.startuptask#uwp-app-startup-task-extension

What I have tried:

I can register my app to Startup list on Windows but when after system reboot, my app does not auto start as my intention. Anyone has same problem? I really need some help. Thanks.

Desktop applications cannot be started unless a user is logged in.

Configure your app to start at log-in - Windows Developer BlogWindows Developer Blog[^]

If you want an app to start at windows reboot/start, it must be a Windows service (which cannot be a UWP app because a Windows service cannot have a user interface).

Actually, I tried that article, used exactly source code in that sample and below is phenomenon:
- when I click Request to Enable StartUp button on main page of UWP app, it shows Startup State as Enabled.
- I check Task manager, this app is enabled in startup list.
- After I restart PC and login, this app start and minimize to Taskbar immediately.
- When I click on the app icon on Taskbar, the app displays only splash screen.
- I leave the app that way for few minutes and it suddenly close without any notifications.

A splash screen will do exactly what you described. That's why they call it a splash screen. Is the app's icon still in the task bar? If not, you'll have to debug the app itself.
