Hi!
I'm currently trying out MAUI for Windows desktop and i noticed that i can't run the .exe which is on the published folder (later i noticed that it is specified in the Microsoft MAUI docs).
So my question is the following: Is there any way i can make my MAUI Blazor hybrid app to run when my Windows goes Up?
I Know you can put a .exe file in the Startup folder or even mapping a new key into the windows registries, but for that i need a working .exe which i know i can't get it right now.
I tried figuring out where does the MSIX package gets the exe to execute the program, but i cant even see where is the app located. So i have no clue at all how can i make my published desktop app to run on windows startup like apps like discord, slack, skype, etc.
If someone has a clue or has done it, a little hand would be amazing!
Thanks for your time.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other issues.
