Disable startup notification
See original GitHub issueWould be great to tweak off the startup notification in Windows 10 that says that aw.exe is starting
I get annoyed every time it pops up, I know it’s starting - it was me who set it up 😃
The launch bar icon is sufficiently informing that I’m self-monitoring.

@johan-bjareholt Not really, I’m fine with removing it altogether.
Edit: Although, maybe a bit weird if new users start aw-qt and then don’t notice the tray icon. Maybe keep it the first time it’s run or something? 🤷♂️
The PR was merged in January and will be in the next release. Closing.
