Ghost Launch is a Windows-only plugin that allows desktop applications to automatically launch when the user logs into Windows.
It provides a clean, reliable, and Blueprint-accessible way to control application startup behavior without requiring manual registry handling or platform-specific code.
The plugin is designed for desktop-style applications, background tools, and utilities that need to start automatically with the operating system — optionally minimized or delayed.
✅Key Features:
1) Enable / Disable Autostart
Control whether the application launches automatically on Windows login
Uses the official per-user Windows startup registry key
Does not require administrator privileges
2) Autostart with Minimized Mode
Start the application in background mode using a launch flag
Ideal for tray-based or background applications
Full control over startup behavior inside the application
3) Startup Delay
Configure a delay (in seconds) before application logic begins
Useful for reducing system load during Windows startup
Fully configurable at runtime
4) Blueprint-Friendly API
All functionality exposed through simple Blueprint nodes
No C++ required to use the plugin
Typical Use Cases
Desktop applications that should launch on system startup
Background utilities and services

Productivity or monitoring software
