Cant get a program to run on startup

[danlightbulb]

Hi have put a shortcut to PBOtuner.exe in the startup folder. It has arguments to set a core undervolt on my CPU.

If I manually click on the shortcut, it works perfectly. But it won't start with Windows.





I have it enabled in the startup control panel.



I have it set to run administrator privileges, it made no difference:




Anyone know why it won't load on startup?

You need to use task scheduler instead: https://github.com/PrimeO7/How-to-u...X3D-Guide-with-PBO2-Tuner/blob/main/README.md

I saw a Youtube video saying the shortcut method was an easier method. And its seems to be, as long as the program runs. Why won't it run?

Could be missing a few permissions that creating a shortcut isn't enough, even if it's running as admin.

Before that guide was even available I initially tried doing a bat file in the start-up folder too but that didn't work. Then I remembered task scheduler and it's been working without issue ever since.

Back when I was using PBOtuner I had to but a .bat file in the start-up folder not the program itself.

Ok I did the task scheduler method and its worked. Thanks.
