Is there a way to set up a PC, through BIOS or OS configuration, to run just one piece of software upon startup? Then just continue to be run headless and only respond to program change messages and midi controls via usb.

Your question was rather abstract, so hence the answer as well. Yes it can be done.
What you described (esp. here in the context of a music creation forum) sounds like a DIY Receptor or V-Machine.
Going any further is pointless without addressing which application you'd like to start, and on which operating system.
MS-DOS had the autoexec.bat since inception, all other operating systems can start an application on boot as well.
In Windows there are at least 5 different ways to do it.

The complete answer depends on your host because its very well autostarting it on boot but might not be much good if it starts with a blank project.

Remember when people used to dedicate a whole PC just to running Gigasampler

Here is an article that seems to be describing what you want to do; https://www.howtogeek.com/173562/how-to ... ed-access/
What I would do is set up an account that launches the application you want in fullscreen mode on startup, with everything else but the essentials disabled.
