Hi Everyone, **Requirement:** On the windows restart, perspective workstation should automatically open in full screen/kiosk mode For one of the workstation I am facing an issue. When perspective workstation application shortcut is added in the windows autostart folder and upon the restart - application is opening in the minimized state with blinking icon on the status bar as shown below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/1/9187144fe2b79312203364f221bb59d2852f4492.png) I checked the shortcut properties and the application launch modes (kiosk and windows) but issue did not resolve. Check the following version details: Ignition Edge, Version: 8.1.42 Gateway: local License: licensed Perspective Workstation, Version: 1.1.42 Any idea on how to get this working? Thanks in advance! ---
