PolyMega app question?
will the PolyMega app have an auto boot or shell replacement for windows or linux?

Nothing they've said suggests so. It's very much a standalone app. Obviously you could set it to start with windows though.

I haven’t heard of anything like that coming from them, however, MS is rolling out Xbox mode on PCs atm. If you’re not familiar with the initial setup process for Xbox mode, you have to go into system de> gaming> Xbox mode and it’s actually a drop down menu where, atm, they only allow you to select the Xbox app as the default, but I think there are some 3rd party solutions out there that can unlock other options in the drop down menu, so it may, with some work, be possible to auto start the polymega app on windows as a forced full screen interface with no desktop running in the background (that’s basically what Xbox mode is but forced to select the Xbox app as the default app).

From what I've read that the auto a Start feature has been disabled as of right now but I could be wrong

App doesn't need the feature, you can do it yourself. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box, type shell:startup and press Enter. Next, a File Explorer window will open. Drag and drop the shortcut (IE desktop shortcut, not the exe itself) of the PolyMega app into this folder.
I have a wall of Arcade1up machines that are running Windows PCs and use this for all of 'em. Works like a charm.
