    Yes there is, here is how for the browser…

     

    First make a shortcut to your PowerApps site.

    Right click on your desktop - New - Shortcut

    Paste the link to your site.

     

    Now open the start folder in Windows Explorer... navigate here

    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

     

    Drag the shortcut you just made into this folder.

     

    There are other ways, this works well.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry, this is not a valid solution for my needs.

    I need to launch the app from PowerApps at startup, not the web based version.

    Still no solution to start a Powerapp App directly without to open powerapps?

    I also needed this solution for a "kiosk PC"

     

    Create a shortcut to your desktop or where you want.

    The location of the item is:

    ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/YOURAPPLICATIONID

     

    And you can copy the application to a startup folder

    To access the startup folders you should do the following

    1. Press Windows key + R
    2. Type shell:common startup (Startup for every user who logs in the machine) or shell:startup (Startup only for the currently logged in user)

    3. Press Enter

     

     

    If you don't know how to get the application ID go to https://make.powerapps.com/apps

     

    Click on the "more button" than Details

    There will be a section called "App ID"
