Description

### Checks

- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

- [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

### Problem Description

I have checked the "Start flow launcher on system startup", along with the "hide flow launcher on startup option" but whenever windows boots up the flow launcher appears and I have to close it.

Isn't this not supposed to happen after checking the "hide flow launcher on startup" or is it intended.

Thanks in advanced

1. Install flow launcher
2. Check the "Start flow launcher on startup" option

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Flow Launcher 1.20.0 using the listed Windows build: enable both startup options and restart Windows. Trace the startup handling for those settings; done means Flow Launcher starts with the launcher window hidden, while still being available as configured.
