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.

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"
