Link App AUTOSTART disable  !

Meta has been denying this option for years! This is outrageous. Reddit is full of this. We want to be able to control which window opens at Windows startup! This will be the reason for our last Quest VR headset. As soon as the next generation comes, we will look for alternatives. Simply an option to "start minimized" or disable autostart.. in settings. No regedit, no secret autostart commands.

    It's hard to believe this still hasn't been fixed after so many years. When people ask me about buying a Meta Quest, this is one of the first issues I mention because the app's behavior feels unnecessarily intrusive. 

    Users should have a simple option to prevent the app from starting with Windows. Likewise, the Meta Store should not automatically open every time the headset starts. Both behaviors feel more like forced promotion which has the opposite impact on so many users. 

    Please add clear settings to disable Windows startup and automatic store launches. These are basic user controls that have been missing for far too long.
