Add a command line parameter to disable start at logon screen for silent installations #8574

Description

@LeonarddeR

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install NVDA with the --install-silent flag
  2. Restart the system.

Actual behavior:

NVDA runs at the logon screen.

Expected behavior:

NVDA shouldn't run at the logon screen when explicitly chosen to install silent.

Additional details

This issue is relevant for system administrators who want to install NVDA silently on a multi user system. IN the current situation, it is not possible to specify the start at logon behaviour from the command line. I think it makes sense to make False the default for first time silent installations. Alternatively, we could consider introducing a new command line parameter.

System configuration:

Not applicable. This issue is unrelated to the Windows version of use and I believe it has been there since the --install-silent parameter was introduced.
