I don't really recall changing UAC settings on the previous PC, but sometimes we do things and don't remember doing them (unless it is known that win 8 had different setups, and the upgrade to 8.1 didn't change those).

#How to make a program run at startup in win8 Pc#
I didn't understand the new PC was simply doing what it was supposed to protect the PC. Running on my replacement machine, which was win 8 upgraded to win 8.1. My confusion came when my previously running scripts quit Yes, I just wanted to be able to double click a shortcut on the desktop to execute simple scripts for any variety of tasks that can be accomplished more quickly and efficiently by scripts. Regarding STscripter's solution, I experienced the same UAC message box, so this post is also in response to that answer. What must be done to allow simple double-clicking of a shortcut to get a seamless execution without actually changing UAC. So I guess I need to continue research to understand I'm asking to confirm: having the UAC popup is in fact normal behavior that can't be side stepped unless other steps are taken. Still brings up the UAC message box for permission to continue, which is what I was trying to address in my initial post when I was speaking to the possible self-defeating nature of my question to allow It runs without requiring the context menu selection "Run As Administrator", but it

Windows seem to add the full path for powershell.exe automatically. Start-process cscript C:\batchFiles\vmStatus.vbs -Verb RunAs I created a shortcut with the following line in the target box (I'm assuming this is what you were directing me to do. I also assumed I was supposed to add powershell.exeĪt the beginning of the line you posted above):Ĭ:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ powershell.exe I am getting a book on Powershell to study.īut, regarding your line above, I think I applied your guidance correctly. Powershell -executionpolicy remotesigned -file C:\batchFiles\ps\vmstatus.ps1 -Verb runas The following is the operative line I used in the batch file (it doesn't seem like the -Verb runas (which is very cool thank you) but wasn't able to execute it other than running a batch file from the context menu selection 'Run As Administrator'. vbs because you know that's where I've been. So, I think we've unofficially become friends since you answered my question in. If it is possible to write the script so it really runs without further interaction, please point me where I might need to study more.

UAC was put in place, for protection? Am I thinking incorrectly? Not sure why the solutions posted were an answer to what was basically the same as my question here.Ĭan a script be setup to Run As Administrator without requiring any further user interaction? I'm wondering if this is actually a self-defeating question, because if a script can be setup as such, then wouldn't it bypass the very purpose

Most of those posts indicate that the individual still had to enter a password or perform some other interaction after the script ran, so I'm I've done some amount of research, but I'm not sure any of the solutions I saw actually accomplish choice 3. Please correct my perception of this choice if it's wrong:ġ) I can change my UAC settings (which I actually prefer not to do - I'm a safety guy.)Ģ) I must always run my scripts by right clicking to the context menu and clicking "Run As Administrator"ģ) I learn if there is a way for my script to "Run As Administrator" on its ownĪssuming my choices above are correct, I would like to focus on choice 3. While I'm stillĪ little hazy on UAC, but continuing to study, it seems I'm left with a choice. They have to be 'Run As Administrator' on the new machine then they work as before.

Having discovered I previously failed to fully study UAC, I now understand why scripts transferred to a new Win 8.1 machine quit working.
