+Title: Start Syncthing in the Background on Windows
+Subtitle:
+Date: 2024-04-28
+Tags: syncthing, windows
+---
+
+Just a quick tip for myself (and anyone who is reading this) for the future. To start [syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) in
+the background on Windows open up the startup apps folder via the run command (Win+R) with `shell:startup` amd then create
+the following shortcut:
+
+```shell
+powershell.exe -c "Start-Process -FilePath 'syncthing' -ArgumentList '--no-browser' -WindowStyle Hidden"
+```
+
+This starts syncthing in the background after a short lived popup opens. `--no-console` doesn't seem to work for whatever reason.
