Windows 10: minimize differences and minimize to tray in terms of hardware resource

If we minimize a program to the taskbar, does it consume more hardware I mean the consumption of RAM, CPU, graphics and other computer hardware or if we minimize it to the system tray ? Or is there no difference?

Minimize to the tray on startup

Minimize to tray at startup

I'm looking for a way to autorun GPU-Z minimized on Windows 7 x64. If I stick a shortcut in the start-up folder and change the properties to "run minimized" it doesn't minimize to the tray but instead to the taskbar. So I have to click on the taskbar and press on minimize every time I reboot my system. This is a little bit annoying if you reboot often.

Thank you for your time! *Smile

 

Minimize softwares to system tray when starting?

Hi, I amended that post to suggest this: Here's another one that makes it easy to select the programs you want minimised to tray when they launch (not free): - this should happen automatically. Minimize to Tray Tool - Minimize any application to the tray Simple list, and if your program is launched, would be sent to tray. Not tried it. The trick with something like that would be to only send it to the tray after it's launched (once in a session) - and not subsequently. There's no feature intrinsic to Windows that makes this easy. I just found this comment which illustrates this:

Looking again at the thread I posted initially, I was wrong- that ends up discussing minimising things only to the taskbar.

 

Task Manager on start-up and minimized to tray

Confirmed on W10 2004 what you said - Task Manager starts minimized with an icon in the taskbar. If I click on the Task Manager taskbar icon, then minimize the Task Manager window, the taskbar icon goes away and Task Manager remains in the tray.
