It might be as simple as that but no guarantees.

The default is "Normal Window" but if you open the options you should be able to select "Minimized" or "Maximized". Getting it to open minimised may be more complicated but I think that when you have created the elevated shortcut and installed it in start up look under its Properties > Shortcut tab > Run conditions. No endorsement intended for anything there, that is just an example of the sort of information easily found with a bit of research. Despite ensuring File History is 'running' via 'services.msc' and having a Portable Hard Drive connected and recognised the File History window says its OFF (see snapshot under) When the Turn On button is clicked I get.File History is off.Could not Enable file history.The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled. There's plenty of information out there explaining the methods in fairly simple terms and tools which can make the whole thing easier, allegedly. The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it- File History.

I won't lie, I've not done this myself and I do not know how Win10's Task Scheduler works but I'd assume they had not messed around with it so much that the same or similar method could not be used for all Windows OS. The way you can do this is to create a new task in Task Scheduler and get it to launch Speccy at start up with highest privileges by using an elevated shortcut.
