How to check if the program is run from an autostart?

Question

Is there any way in C++ to check if my program is launched by a user or from an autostart? I want to show / not to show window in these cases.

There's probably not a portable way. You should indicate which OS you're using — Matt Timmermans, May 30 '16 at 16:17
There is no way to "detect" it, but see the answer for a good way to make it work if you have full control over the autostart entry. — nvoigt, May 30 '16 at 16:17

Make the autostart entry set a command line flag such as /nowin.
