In that case released the new official version. Guess I also know what it's like to be from the side that submits issues...

Bear with me: Haven't used it yet but I'm just wondering here if there's any way to run LWMenu without it showing its UI, only executing launching directives (kinda like yaP does)?

In the affirmative, I see LWMenu could easily become yet another Portabilizer alternative... ;)

Well, it's double affirmative because it's actually an official feature that was based on a previous discussion is this very thread.
This FAQ explains how to do it and you can also see it in the comparison table.

I'm sorry, but it's not enough for me. :D Somewhere here in the Yap topic, the name of the project with the name "Gap" flashed. It is based on Yap, but the author allegedly built in work with services. That is, deleting the services installed by the application after it is closed. Is this feasible?

Thanks for enlightening me -- I hadn't caught that feature, I'll have to look into it... 8)

You're all welcome to try the latest beta with various new features, most of which were based on this user's kiosk mode use case discussion.
The main new features are:
  1. Dark mode (great for the eyes)
  2. clickbutton=X (opens the menu and then clicks a button)
  3. kiosk=1 (prevents moving or closing the menu)
  4. singleclick=1 (disables a button after it's clicked until the program it launched exists)

Now you have to forcibly use the "closemenuonclick=1" parameter. Otherwise, after closing the program the main LWMenu opens.
This was not the case in the previous version.
Example:
[CUSTOM CD MENU]
hidetrayicon=1
skiptobutton=3
blinktaskbarwhendone=1
singlerun=1
; netaccess=0
; admin=1

[BUTTON3]
buttontext=Audioconverter
relativepathandfilename=App\audioconverter.exe
registry=+HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Abyssmedia
backuppath=App
closemenuonclick=1

Good catch, fixed! Can you try the latest beta? There are so many options now and thus greater risk of clashes. Please do let me know if you find any more clashes.

No problem, you can also see the default file that comes with the launcher, which can also be seen right in GitHub.

No, it's repeating itself.

I can't reproduce this using your own autorun.inf from an earlier post. But your video shows it's HijackThis, while the autorun.inf you pasted earlier was Audio Converter.
When you post a movie, please include exactly the matching autorun.inf
If it was the same autorun.inf I'd ask to click Help=>About to make sure it shows the latest beta version.

I did not specify the "closemenuonclick=1" parameter. I'm telling you, it wasn't needed in the previous version. And so yes, the menu does not appear with this option.
[CUSTOM CD MENU]
hidetrayicon=1
skiptobutton=3
blinktaskbarwhendone=1
singlerun=1
; netaccess=0
; admin=1

[BUTTON3]
buttontext=HiJackThis
relativepathandfilename=App\HiJackThis.exe
registry=+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HijackThis+
backuppath=App
