This was really jarring for me the first time I used Signal Desktop on Windows. I clicked on the close button and then realized that the app had terminated instead of minimizing to the tray (as such apps would be expected by many users to behave).

Thanks, I didn't know about command line arguments for that. I'll check it out.

Put a link to the exe somewhere (e.g. the start-up folder in the start menu).

Than edit the target to add the argument:

C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\Local\Programs\signal-desktop\Signal.exe --start-in-tray
