PortableApps.com Platform won't start application

hi

yesterday I downloaded and installed the platform v12.0.5 build 7601. It's running on Win7 64 bit.

I have installed two applications 7zip and Synkron. Synkron got the option "Start Automatically" ticked. When I start my computer the platform starts but Synkron doesn't. If I quit the platform and start it manually Synkron starts. Is that a bug or I have to do something to have Synkron start automatically?

Q2) is there any way so the Platform and be running have no icon in task bar?

Thank you
R.
