Add Trello shortcut to autostart folder

[Roman Frantsev]

Hi all! Has anybody figured out how to add the trello shortcut to the autostart folder on Windows 11? Or just simply create a shortcut on the desktop? I have downloaded the app via App Store on Windows and I cant find the location of the file or copy it from the start menu to any other location.

Hi @Roman Frantsev !

Have you tried this:

Create Desktop Shortcut for store app / software in Windows 11

Hi Gregory, of course.. those clips appear at the top of the search result :D
It's just in the case of Trello app there is no "open file location" option..

[Grigory Salnikov]

Yes, that is how I found them, lol :)

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the in as I do not have win 11 yet, sorry.

P.S. As indicated here:

Trello desktop apps

You should be able to invoke Trello from anywhere by using Ctrl + Alt + T

Have you tried this?

[Roman Frantsev]

yeah, I know about the shortcut.. but the app needs to be running for it to work. That's the reason I want to put it into autostart..

[Grigory Salnikov]

I see.

I also found this method:

Win+I > Apps > StartUp > Toggle startup button.

By the way, does this app appear in the "all apps" list? If it does, you can try to drag-and-drop it on the desktop.

[Roman Frantsev]

its not listed in the startup section..

and you cant drag&drop it from all apps or from start menu.

Hi there!

I can't get TRELLO to run at startup. Isn't there no way to get this done???

For the Windows 11 OS, Here's how to do it:

1. Right-click on the desktop, select New and choose the Shortcut option.

2. Click the browse button.

3. Select the file to create a shortcut

(In this case it'll be the WindowsApps folder for the Trello windows store application. )

Follow the below steps to gain access to the hidden WindowsApps folder if you don't already have access. 

4. Select the Trello exe in the trello folder

The file path was something like this for me:

"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\[REDACTED].PawsforTrello_2.13.10.0_x64__[REDACTED]\app\Trello.exe"

5. Click next and name the shortcut if you like. It will name the shortcut the name of the file / folder by default. 

6. Click finish

7. The Trello desktop app should now be visible in your desktop. 

8. Open the startup folder by pressing the Windows logo key + R, type shell:startup, then select OK. 

9. Copy the Trello shortcut and paste in the startup folder. 

10. Test it out and Enjoy!

Hi, after some research I found that this is the way of doing it: Run Microsoft Store apps on Startup - Windows 10

Hi Roman. Did you ever solve this? I am roaming around the web for solutions but it seems that nobody knows how to do it. All the solutions I've seen so far are intended for Windows 10 and don't work on Windows 11.
