Today I needed to add outlook to the auto start programs on a corporate computer, so I searched how to do it and found an official step by step manual (see link) that read more like a linux help document.

In comparison to my linux mint, it appears more difficult to add a software to autostart on windows.

    that is incorrect! if the program is not in the list, you have to follow the manual from the link I provided ;)

        that’s easy peasy, the key, the type, name and value to use is obvious. It’s literally in OP’s parent comment anyway. that’s how one literally does it!

        no, it is plainly just simpler on linux

          Tbf there still are a lot of ways to make a program run at startup on linux, systemd/rc, cronjob. Even putting in bashrc for certain cases. The problem is finding where that little bugger is starting from.
