start teamviewer in a minimised mode

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

I have the latest teamviewer which autostarts when my pc starts. However, it starts in a maximised mode and when you go to the options, the close to tray menu is greyed out. Also there is no option that allows teamviewer to autostart as minimised. I tried to scan all the registry settings to to see if i can start the application as minimised by default.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

I was able to fix this by editing the following registry entry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer]

"MainWindowMaximized"=dword:00000000

It had a value of "1" assigned. I switched it to "0".

Hi I have the same problem as above. Altering 'Properties' to 'Minimised' does not work for me either.

Has anyone been in the same position and fixed this?

Thanks.

I can personally CONFIRM that the registry fix DOES work and while TV still starts up with Windows it NO LONGER opens in full screen mode. Questions is: WHY is the registry key for MainWindowMaximized set at 1 instead of ZERO?

This solution presented by Frabinstein (thanks) also worked for me after months and months of putting up with TV starting up FULL SCREEN during initial Windows login.

I would second veryounique question as to WHY is the registry key for MainWindowMaximized is set at 1 instead of ZERO? And also, why is there no way to switch this OFF from within the TV settings?

Thanks Frabin, appreciate it! Shame that Teamviewer can't just offer this option in their software and it requires a regedit as workaround.

Not very user friendly of you Teamviewer, and pretty annoying your software gets 'shoved' in the users face like this each bootup. Even if that's not intended behaviour, you should fix it.
