Program Doesn't Launch With Task Scheduler

[junior]

I've set everything right, but the program still doesn't run at startup.

Hello Junior,

Does the program run elevated?

If so, then that's why it will not run at startup. By default, Windows will not run elevated programs at startup for security reasons.

In this case, you could use the tutorial below as a workaround to create an elevated shortcut, then place the elevated shortcut in your Startup program to have it run elevated at startup without getting a UAC prompt.

I'm not sure if that's the problem, I have UAC disabled. It ran fine when I used Windows 7.

When I disable Fast Startup the program runs fine, but my computer takes longer to start.

It wouldn't matter if UAC is enabled or disabled.

As a test, give the method in the tutorial a try with fast startup turned on to see how it goes.
