    Hello folks, 

    I understand how disruptive it can be that 1Password opens its main window on startup rather than running quietly in the background. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. This was a known limitation of Windows 10 affecting the MSIX version of 1Password, and it’s been resolved in version 8.11.22 and newer.

    Please update to the latest version: How to keep 1Password up to date

    Thank you for your patience as our development team worked to resolve the issue.

With help from support I switched to the MSI version which appears to keep getting updated: https://support.1password.com/deploy-1password/?windows#step-1-choose-an-installer

The only tweak I had to do was modify the registry entry for startup (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) from --auto-start to --silent

It was also my understanding that the dev team will explore ways to mitigate this behaviour on Windows 10.

I'm very happy now and consider this solved on my end by using the MSI installer.

Yes! This worked for me too, thank you.

  • Uninstall existing 1Password (msix) and reboot
  • Install 1Password from msi
  • Edit registry entry to --silent

    Software updated to 8.11.20 and reverted to opening maximized.
