Some apps (like Spotify or Steam) have their own internal startup toggles. These can sometimes override Windows folder settings. Check the app’s internal "Preferences" or "Settings" menu.

Right-click the application and select Show more options > Create shortcut . If Windows asks to place it on the desktop, say Yes.

Use the shell:startup command mentioned above.

Don't overload these folders. Every shortcut you add increases your "Time to Desktop." Keep it lean, keep it fast!
