Telegram is a cross-platform instant messaging app that focuses on speed and security. It allows users to send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share photos and videos with end-to-end encryption to help ensure user privacy and security.
When you install and set up Telegram on Windows, you can have it start every time your system starts. This setting is useful when you use the app frequently and don’t want to start it up when you log in manually.
Some people might launch Telegram automatically when their system starts for a few reasons. First, if you use the app frequently, it can save time and effort to open it automatically rather than launch it manually every time you log in.
Additionally, if you rely on Telegram for work or important communications, launching it automatically ensures you don’t miss any important messages or notifications.
Enable or disable “Launch Telegram when system starts”
As mentioned above, the Telegram Desktop app can automatically launch when the system starts. This ensures you don’t miss any important messages or notifications.
Here’s how to do that.
First, launch the app by clicking the Start menu and selecting it on the All Apps list.

You can also launch the app from the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow.

When the app opens, click the Menu button at the top left of your screen.

On the Menu, select Settings (gear).

On the Settings page, select the Advanced Menu to expand it.

On the expanded Advanced menu, under System integration, check the box next to the line “Launch Telegram when system starts” to enable it.
To disable it, uncheck the box.

This will automatically start and launch the Telegram Desktop app window.
If you do not want the full app window to open, check the “Launch minimized” box as well.

When the “Launch minimized” option is selected, the Telegram app will start and launch in the Taskbar app overflow pane.
That will do it!
