How to start Windows Twitch app minimized

Alexander Gavrilov · July 3, 2019

Simple AutoHotkey script:

Run, %APPDATA%\Twitch\Bin\Twitch.exe	;path to Twitch binary
FindAndClose:
if WinExist("ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1") {
	WinClose
	Exit
}
Goto, FindAndClose

Save to text file, compile to exe with Ahk2Exe compiler and put to autorun folder (type %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup into Explorer address bar). Don’t forget to disable autostart in Twitch settings. Also you need to enable “When I Close the App: Hide Twich” option.
