[SOLVED] Start iTunes with computer, but show GUI

[mknabster]

Hello all! I have a Windows Server 2019 box where i would like iTunes to start automatically when the computer boots up. I was able to successfully set the task up in task scheduler, but it started hidden, despite the hidden check box not being checked. I do occasionally use this computer to play music locally, so i would like to be able to see the GUI. Is there an argument i should be using for this task? Thanks!

Doesn't Windows Server have a "Startup" folder like consumer Windows?

That's what i was hoping for, but i wasn't able to find it, at least it wasn't in the same location i thought it was in.

Will add another comment - not an answer per se.

iTunes has had an overall shaky history.

Plus Apple has dropped iTunes - but apparently Windows/PC users will still be able to install iTunes.

E.g. (there are other links):

Do not know if Windows Server 2019 will support iTunes as you envision.

That applies to now and the future.

You may need to think about using an alternate media player.
