Microsoft could enable Progressive Web Apps to start automatically when you sign in to Windows 10
Table of contents:
We have talked about Progressive Web applications on different occasions. They have a specific website and will end up replacing traditional applications in many cases In fact, there are companies like Twitter that are already firmly committed to this type of solution.
In Microsoft they have also winked at some developments that have numerous advantages and very few drawbacks. And now, the next move could cause PWAs (we'll use the acronym from now on), to automatically boot at OS login
Integrating PWAs into desktop platforms
Microsoft and its app store already has PWA. A type of applications very similar to web applications, like the ones we open in the browser, but with functions that are very similar to traditional applications and are also much easier to update .
Microsoft has taken great interest in PWAs and in fact the goal is for them to end up being integrated into the system and for the The user can add or delete them as if it were just another application. There are browsers like Chrome already offer a shortcut in the form of a button to install an app when visiting a site with PWA.
And since Microsoft is already involved in Chromium development with the new Edge coming in a few days, hopefully it can include a similar optionand even allow an already installed PWA to start when logging into the operating system. In fact it is a real improvement, although not functional.
The something echoed by Carlos Frias on Github, where he affirms that since the American company is meditating on making this capacity a reality , for which they would need to create a PWA shortcut to the startup folder in the Windows operating system, although this can be done by creating a registry key in the Windows Registry or by running it as a scheduled task.
It remains to be seen if this enhancement would be set by default and even if the PWA would start automatically when the operating system user logs in, They may also choose to remove this feature once the PWA is installed to prevent the PWA from starting automatically with each operating system login.
