Thanks for your reply. Again, great tool, really.

You can try the options 'Close Kodi on Suspend' and 'Start Kodi when Windows Resume from sleep'. This will solve the issue, but kodi will be closed and reopened.

Everything is already check, the behaviour is the same. Actually, I think the issue is not about your launcher, but an issue with Windows 8.1 resume from sleep mode.
Every single time I resume from sleep my system (Nuc, windows 8.1), I can see only the wallpaper of my desktop, icons in my task bar with Windows button, but no icon at all from the desktop. Nothing. And of course, I can't launch anything.

I have not tested the launcher in Win 8.1.

Are you using the launcher as shell? Do you have this problem if explorer is the shell?

Hi

I've installed this launcher and it works like a charm, but it seems to take a while -during boot- to effectively launch Kodi ? (like 20 seconds)

I've got a 5th gen. Intel NUC core i5 with M.2 SSD, so speed shouldn't be an issue.
The same thing happens when I add Kodi as a shortcut to autolaunch in Win 8.1

Any suggestions?

Try hybrid shutdown in Windows 8.1. Subsequent boots will be much faster.
