Launch ShareGate Desktop at system startup

Toggle off to prevent ShareGate Desktop from opening at system startup.

Keep ShareGate Desktop running in the system tray when closing the window

Toggle off to disallow ShareGate Desktop to stay open in your system tray.

Note: You can still exit ShareGate Desktop when it is open in your system tray. Just right click over the icon and select Exit.

Enable automatic updates

Keep the toggle on to allow ShareGate Desktop to enable automatic updates. If you toggle off, you will be prompted when updates are available.

Note: ShareGate Desktop will only automatically download an update when in Idle Mode, meaning that it is minimized to the system tray and no tasks are active or migrations are running.
