How is about put a shortcut to your application in the windows autostart folder?
N.B: This starts your application after windows login.

You should post this as a possible solution. Other possible solution is the Run key in registry.

There are two Windows registry keys that could help your issue.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
AND
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

One key only runs the command one time and the other runs it every time. So if you want your program to start every time, use the "Run" key.

Once you're in the registry, Create a new String. The name should be descriptive of your application, and the data/value should be the full path to start your application.
