Setup in Windows

After installing idgard Sync, it is worth adjusting a few Windows settings so the app is easier to access in daily use.

Pin the app to the taskbar

To pin idgard Sync to the taskbar:

1. Open Windows Search from the taskbar.
2. Type idgard Sync.
3. Select the app entry.
4. Click Pin to taskbar.

This keeps the app within easy reach, even when it is not currently visible in the notification area.

Keep the tray icon visible

Because many actions are available from the tray icon, it is recommended to keep the icon visible at all times.

1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar.
2. Open Taskbar settings.
3. Go to the settings for other taskbar icons.
4. Find the idgard Sync entry.
5. Turn the switch on so the icon stays visible.

Once idgard Sync is running, the tray icon should then remain directly accessible.

Disable or enable auto-start

By default, idgard Sync starts automatically with Windows. If you only use the app occasionally, you can disable this behavior.

To disable auto-start:

1. Open the tray icon context menu with a right-click.
2. Select App Settings.
3. Scroll down and open Windows Settings - Startup.
4. Find idgard Sync in the list of apps.
5. Set the switch to Off.

To enable auto-start again, follow the same steps and set the switch back to On.
