just specify the path to the project at the end of the command line (after the /config:xxxxxxx bit). If the path has spaces u will need to use quotes.

refer to ProGuide Command line switches for ArcGISPro.exe for all the available command line switches fyi.

Or if you want to open a project programmatically you can add the following snippet in the override for OnApplicationReady of your ConfigurationManager class implementation:

protected override void OnApplicationReady() { try { var aprxPath = @"c:\...\ProProjectFile.aprx"; Project.OpenAsync(aprxPath); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show ($@"Error: ex.Message"); } }

For the OnShowStartPage override just return null.
