To show developer tool and excute console log. You can add the following code after window.loadFile.

window.webContents.openDevTools();
window.webContents.executeJavaScript(`console.log(">>> ${process.execPath}")`);

Since the application is not signed, it will not run on Windows start, even if the application is added through Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. To run the application on Windows start, we can use Task Scheduler. The scheduler.bat file, will create a basic task when Run as administrator.

Please note that before running this file as administrator, edit the file using Notepad and update the "C:\PATH\TO\Sokan.exe" accordingly. See example below.

SCHTASKS /CREATE /SC ONSTART /TN "Sokan" /TR "C:\Program Files\Customization\Sokan.exe" /RL HIGHEST
