Cannot get Speedfan to startup on login (Win10)

Hi guys

Really struggling to see why Speedfan does not startup with Win10 on login. I have added a shortcut to the startup program group:

Task manager thinks it should startup:

I've checked to make sure 'Normal startup' is selected in msconfig.

Any ideas please?

It's because it needs to run in admin mode. Back when I was using it, I had to set it to start up as highest privileges in the task scheduler.

This is a good guide: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/67503-task-create-run-program-startup-log.html (obviously you'll be using Speedfan instead of CoreTemp).

In windows 8/8.1 i had to create a system event to get speedfan to open on startup

Think i used this video to set it up

No idea if the steps are the same in W10 though as i've stopped using speedfan
