Wpf application doesn't start at startup

Question

I have developed a wpf app and want it to run whenever the computer starts up.However I have been unable to do so......I have tried editing registry like this answer...

Launch Window on Windows startup

Interesting thing is the app does autostart when there is internet connection.It doesn't when there is no internet. I do need internet connection at some point of time to sync the data to internet application. However this should not have affected the startup of the application.

Any ideas???

Your app is starting ... but quit (when there is no internet connection) before the first window was shown. — Sir Rufo, Oct 08 '18 at 07:06
@SirRufo Exactly...I think so that too...What may be the reason behind it? Can I have a solution? — Pratik.S, Oct 08 '18 at 07:09
@Annonymousprogrammer Are you able to start the application manually without internet? — Sham, Oct 08 '18 at 07:22
Well, how can we say anything about your application without seeing any code? — Sir Rufo, Oct 08 '18 at 07:46
Thank you @SirRufo for pointing that out......It was a mistake from my side...In the future I will take it into consideration about the questions that I ask....:) — Pratik.S, Oct 08 '18 at 16:25

I guess you can set up a timer, and after several minutes, check out your internet, if the internet is ok, then run your application continuely. If not, reset the timer, and check again.

Go to the run line (Windows + R). Type "shell:common startup" press "enter". Place a shortcut in that folder and restart your machine (depending on what the *.exe is doing you may need to set its properties to run as administrator).
