When I used macOS 12, I used to be able to have the option to hide apps that were in the login items list, but since I was forced to upgrade to macOS 14.7, the option has disappeared.
is there any workaround for apps that are being launched at startup but I don't want to have showing up initially? It's driving me nuts. Thanks

You can still remove or temporarily prevent items from opening automatically.

The first answer really doesn't address the question.
The best I can find is quite manual. Keep the app in your login items, and then upon login, Control-click the app in the menu bar, go to Options (not sure this will work with all apps), and choose "Hide".
As I said... quite manual. Maybe there's an alternative that involves a third party app, but the only one I could find doing a quick search is called Autostarter (US$0.99 on the MAS)and does more than I need. (I only have two apps in my login items and one of them always opens a window.) I'd recommend checking this out or doing it manually.
Hide apps that launch upon startup in Sonoma?
