Can you give us a little to go by? It showing up makes little sense if it is something like electron. And how did you make it a desktop application? Perhaps show a screenshot ?

@aralvi143 again. How is it built? Electron? C#?
Level 1
@Sinnbeck php laravel and i used InnoSetup to make .exe file
Level 102
@aralvi143 so inno setup just runs a set of commands I guess? Can you show how it is set up?
Level 1
@Sinnbeck yes it runs the set of commands. I have used php library like this https://github.com/laravelarticle/laravel-desktop but i didn't exactly know is it or other but same like it. I just copied my laravel application and paste in the www folder then i used InnoSetup here is the instructions from where i got help to make .exe file and desktop application https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi_AHVP8Obs

So if I understand you correctky you use a browser to open your application but you need to run php artisan serve after every reboot and you want it to start automatically?
I suggest you install a proper webserver like Apache2 or nginx and serve you app from there. Not knowing what OS you are using makes it a bit harder to give you good advise.
But there are several ways to serve your application
- Wamp (Windows only)
- Xampp
- Laravel Sail
- Larvel Homestead
- Laravel Valet (Mac only)
- Valet+
- Docker
- Local install of a stack
- Set up your own server (virtual or physical)

@aralvi143 So it's the command window you want to hide. HAve you tried turning it off in the settings.json file?

@aralvi143 Do you have a shortcut that calls a command to start the application and it opens a cmd window?
If so tell it to open minimized.
