Steps to reproduce

1. Go to "Settings"
2. "Advanced settings"
3. check the box "Launch Telegram at system startup"
4. check the box "Run minimized"
5. reboot

Expected behaviour

When the system starts, Telegram should be loaded into the tray, but not open as a window.

Actual behaviour

When the system starts, Telegram starts, but does not minimize to the system tray. The "Run minimized" checkbox does not work.

Sorry but I can't confirm your issue. Perhaps something is missing in steps to reproduce or your distro is bugged.

Ah, just noticed, sorry but you can't report with third party builds here, please use official build for reporting or delegate this job to your build supplier.

plz try downloading official static (non-flakpak, non-snap) version from https://desktop.telegram.org

Telegram is loaded along with the computer. An icon appears in the system tray. But the Telegram window should be minimized and not shown when the system starts, as indicated by the “Run minimized” checkbox in the settings. But Telegram launches with the program window open and minimized = false
I don't know if I explained it clearly.
In general, the window should be minimized, but it is expanded when the system starts.

Yes, I can't reproduce the behavior you described in my testing VM. I set the minimized checkbox an it starts minimized.

It's clear. I'll write it in the Alt Linux bugzilla

It might be an issue with your system, e.g. maybe you have enabled Telegram to autostart by other means, now it starts multiple times what leads to the window being opened, just like when you open already running instance with applications menu.

At the moment, I got around this situation on wayland in the following way.
added the telegram.desktop file to $HOME/.config/autotart
with the following content

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Telegram
NoDisplay=true
Comment=telegram on sys trey
Exec=telegram -startintray
Terminal=false

At the same time, the autorun and tray launch checkboxes are disabled

Looks like I reproduced
