Force app startup after installation/update

Some programs does not start automatically after update/installation, looking at you Cisco 😠.

Currently this can only be achieved with a combination of post-installation scripts and scheduled tasks. This being quite a hassle to develop for each app, it would be neat to have a built-in option to force a start of the app, when it is done installing/updating.

    We would also like this especially for apps for that have conflicting processes configured. The process must close to update, but if it was open, then it should re-open when the update is complete.

    This has been requested by my company also. We use the custom notification to allow colleagues to defer or close apps during the update...but it would be great if there was an option to automatically re-launch the application post update.

    Zoom and Jabber are prime examples of where this would be great
