Originally created by @fmpedro on GitHub (Oct 3, 2024).

Even though I have the "Connect on Startup" option selected, the NetBird windows client will not show up in the system tray, as if it is not running. However, attempting to connect to systems that require the VPN connection to be active work, so that seems to indicate that the client is running in the background.
Attempting to open the app from the Start menu does result in the client showing up in the system tray.

I'm not using NetBird Cloud.

NetBird version
v0.29.4

This affects all versions until now, right?

Unfortunately the new feature to launch the UI is only available in the setup.exe but not the MSI.
Would it be possible to implement it for the MSI version as well?

I'm currently not experiencing this problem anymore. FYI I'm currently on version 0.41 but the behaviour already dissapeared some versions ago
