We have a program that is having problem starting up on Windows 10. If the program is NOT run as administrator, it popups a "Access Denied" message right before it starts. If we run the program as an administrator, it does NOT popup any error message and loads normally. However, now the program won't run at STARTUP. So, we need to run our program as administrator and be able to automatically run the program at startup.
Update: Even though my question and the duplicate question maybe the same but the answers provided for both questions did not solve my problem. Task Scheduler only starts my application or program as a background process. Thus, my program doesn't load. However, I do see my process in the task manager under background process. That's all.
@Moab: Can you confirm that the duplicate applies to Win 10? – fixer1234 – 2015-06-18T02:52:52.640
@Ramhound Yes it does, but task scheduler does not start my program normally but as a background process. That's not what I am looking for. Am I missing something? – ThN – 2015-06-18T12:34:27.893
@fixer1234 if you are specifically talking about my question and the question marked as a duplicate, then no. My question is related to Windows 10 and the duplicate is related Windows 7. – ThN – 2015-06-18T12:36:39.583
@Ramhound You are right, but one question is specifically asking for Windows 10 solution and the other one is for Windows 7 even though both solutions apply windows 10. – ThN – 2015-06-18T12:56:53.557
@Ramhound Yes, you are right. You asked how my question and the duplicate question are different. I told you other than Windows versions, they are both the same. you can go ahead and mark my question as duplicate if you want. – ThN – 2015-06-18T13:08:20.840
@ThN: That was the purpose of my question. Solutions may or may not work across different Windows versions. I don't want to vote this as a duplicate if the solutions don't apply to Win 10. If they do apply, the specificity to Win 7 in the other question doesn't matter. – fixer1234 – 2015-06-18T15:29:08.900
To maybe clarify what the questioner is trying to do, and why a background process is not OK, I have this problem on the release version of Win10: I want to run Dbgview at startup as admin so I can see the results of "Capture Global Win32 Output". If I put a shortcut in the Startup folder and check "run as administrator", it doesn't launch. On Win8.1, this works fine. – jeffm – 2015-08-06T17:52:10.950
