Launch on Windows startup

Nextcloud’s Launch on system startup setting starts app\nextcloud.exe directly. This bypasses the portable launcher and can make Nextcloud ask you to set up your account again after a reboot.

To start the portable app when you sign in to Windows:

1. Finish setting up your account, then turn off Launch on system startup in Nextcloud’s General settings.
2. Press Win+R, enter shell:startup, and press Enter.
3. Add a shortcut to nextcloud-portable.exe in that folder. Set its target to the full path of the launcher followed by --background, for example "D:\NextcloudPortable\nextcloud-portable.exe" --background.

Keep the portable app at the same path and make sure its drive is available when you sign in. Update the shortcut if you move the app.
