Hi, title says almost all.
I'm running latest Rainmeter version on latest Win 11 version.
I was expecting to find a "Start with Windows" option among the General settings.
But I see nothing:
Any hints? Thank you.

There is no option after installing...Jose Hidalgo wrote: ↑February 4th, 2024, 10:27 pm Hi, title says almost all.

Install Rainmeter manually by downloading the installer and running it. Be sure "Launch Rainmeter on startup" is "checked".
All this does is put a shortcut to your Rainmeter program in the Startup folder.
On Win10 it is in C:\Users\{yourname}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
You could try adding that shortcut, but re-installing is the easiest answer.
If that doesn't work, let us know.

Re: Can't find the "Start with Windows" option in General settings
In Windows 11 you can try to open Settings. Click Apps on the left side panel, then click Startup. Look for Rainmeter in the list and make sure you have it set to On.
If Rainmeter is not present in the list, open Task Manager (hitting Ctrl + Shift + Esc), click Startup apps tab and check if Rainmeter is in this list (however if it was not present in the previous list, you won't see it here either, I think). If it is not, you can manually add it.
Details here, if needed.

Well, like you said! I just made sure to have a Rainmeter shortcut in my Startup folder, and voilà.
