Rawns Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Installed Win 8 on my media centre. So far, everything looks OK, however it took me a bit of Googleing to find the startup folder. I've created shortcuts to my Teamspeak 3 Server and XBMC apps to load them on boot, however they don't start up automatically after reboot. The startup list in task manager shows them listed and they are 'enabled'. I also tried turning off the fast boot option in the power settings (as suggested by another Google search) all to no effect. Any ideas why these two programs do not load on boot? Nothing in event viewer and I'm stumped!
Rawns Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Sorted after a bit more Googleing! Even though I (thought I) disabled UAC, I fixed it through the local security policy > local policies > security options and disabling "User Account Control: run all administrators in admin approval mode". Teamspeak and XBMC fire up on boot every time now.
ZeroHour Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Another way is to create a scheduled task that runs on startup at admin level (checkbox). Services also can be admin'ed I think. 1
