Windows Startup Launch Parameter

So a recent Windows update apparently screwed up the registry location on my computer that handles certain startup programs with windows, including 1Password
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) specifically (The entries in the registry are gone, so it's not like they even show up in Task Manager as disabled. )

I can make it start up with windows again by putting a shortcut in the Windows startup folder, but it doesn't start minimized. And I can't figure out the parameter to start it minimized.

So main question:
What's the command line argument to start 1Password minimized in Windows?

I've tried the usual suspects like -minimized, /minimized, etc.

It's --silent. At least this is how 1password shows up in my task manager for autostart.

Hello, same problem here. How did you solve "I can make it start up with windows again"?

I'm sorry that 1Password isn't starting when you start your Mac. Can you try the following:

Press the Windows key on your keyboard, type Startup apps and hit Enter.
In the window that opens, check whether 1Password is listed, and if it is, make sure it's set to On.

Then, restart your Windows PC and make sure that 1Password starts properly. If it doesn't or you don't see a 1Password entry in the Startup apps window then let me know.

Hi,
how to start 1Pwd at Windows login? Cannot find such option in Settings --> General anymore? Also, there is no 1Pwd item in Task Manager Startup Apps.
