Windows – How to run batch file at startup (Windows 10)

ok it is working now this is what I did, you probably won't need all these steps to make it work but just to be sure try them all:

• Check the account parameters of your scheduled task and make sure they are set to run whether or not someone is logged into the machine

• check run with most privileges/rights

• Make sure you go to the full path first: cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\infoweb\factuur\cron

• Don't use double quotes in your batch files (don't know why but seems to help)

• Be super admin, enter 'Net user administrator /active:yes' in command prompt, log out and log in as the super admin, so UAC is off

Thanks guys

You Must be aware that some program needs Administrative privilege to start. Keeping program simply in startup folder doesn't provide the program permission to execute it.

1. You either need to remove the Option to run program as administrator.

   • To do this, right click and go to property of the program and in Advance button of shortcut, uncheck the Run As Administrator.
   • But this may leads to app not work properly for the task it need administrator privilege.

2. Another option is to create a scheduled task.

   • Open scheduled task and select the program in new task and execute it on every startup.
   • Since Configuring Scheduled task needs admin privilege already, so your program will be already granted admin permission.

So it will work!
