How-To Start Discord Minimized
Because of the way that Discord was built, the only time you can minimize it is when the actual chat form opens. The beginning update splash page is not part of the main form, so we need to wait for the main chat form. Also you can't give the chat form the command to minimize as it doesn't use the standard winform code. So we give it the taskkill command which Discord intercepts and minimizes to system tray instead of closing.
1) Right click on the Discord system tray icon and uncheck the start when windows starts option.
2) Make a .bat file with the following content:
3) Put the .bat file in your "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" folder.
Now Discord will minimize after 10 seconds after it starts up. You can shrink the time by altering the "timeout" function.
