I. Download and install the free AutoHotkey WIndows automation app

AutoHotkey

II. Create a new AutoHotkey Script file in a folder

In Explorer, right-click in empty space in the folder where you want to save the script, then select New and AutoHotkey Script. You can then type a name for the script (taking care not to erase the .ahk extension if it is visible).

III. Edit your script by insterting the following code

Right click on the .ahk file and choose Edit Script

This will open a Notepad or some kind of text editor.

The code will check if the PowerPoint app is open, if not then it will open PowerPoint and make it Activ. After the Style of the window will be changed to make the title bar hidden.
