As more users begin to use a website as a progressive web app, Chromium-based browsers have added the ability to automatically launch your favorite PWAs when you log in to Windows 10.

In the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge builds, you can enable a flag that causes the browser to ask during the installation of a PWA if you want to autostart it when you log in to Windows.

If you enable the PWA to autostart, a shortcut to the PWA will be added to users' Windows 10 Startup folder, as shown below.

Chrome will open a page that shows the "Desktop PWAs run on OS login" setting.

Once you relaunch the browser, an option to autostart the PWA will be shown when you install it.
