Welcome to UplayStartupMinimize Wiki!

UplayStartupMinimize (USM)

To launch Ubisoft game client Ubisoft Connect(formerly Uplay) on startup and minimize it to system tray(similar to Steam and Origin) as soon as it auto-updates and initializes via Ubisoft servers.

This program assumes you have Ubisoft Connect installed at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher"

Latest Installer: Download

Latest Standalone Release: https://github.com/avimanyu786/UplayStartupMinimize/releases/tag/latest

All Releases: https://github.com/avimanyu786/UplayStartupMinimize/releases

Source code available at: https://github.com/avimanyu786/UplayStartupMinimize

This script basically helps you to launch Ubisoft Connect on startup and minimize it to system tray as soon as it auto-updates and initializes. USM has an auto-update feature that fetches its most recent version whenever Ubisoft Connect receives an update. It will always terminate itself once it has done its work on startup and is not required to be kept running as a background process.

*In case you have an earlier version installed, please uninstall it before proceeding with the installation.

  1. Make sure of the following settings:
a. "Minimize Ubisoft Connect to system tray when the application window is closed" should be kept enabled in Uplay's settings.

b. "Launch Ubisoft Connect when Windows starts" should be kept enabled.
  1. Now proceed and restart your PC after installation to see it work.

The software that was used to create the USM Installer is called "Inno Setup Compiler" which is also Open Source on GitHub that adds USM to Windows' user startup via:

Name: "{userstartup}\UplayStartupMinimize"; Filename: "{app}\USM.vbs"; WorkingDir: "{app}"

UplayStartupMinimize is free software and is completely the work of Avimanyu Bandyopadhyay avimanyu786@gmail.com.
