I have a program loading in startup, but it is not loading?


Recommended Posts

I have a program called BlueIris for monitoring my security cameras, and I have added it to the startup folder (shell:startup) and the only issue is that this program requires that it  run as admin, and I have changed the shortcut to run as admin, but it does not load now (it loaded prior to changing admin setting), but according to the taskmanager the program is running, but it is obviously not loaded and does not load until I execute it via the shortcut I have on the desktop. Is there any reason that this should be an issue, and any idea on how to fix it?

Make a scheduled task to do what you want. Setting a startup program to run as administrator in compatibility settings will not allow it to happen unattended, it would still need user interaction.

OK, I created a task to load on startup, but it did not load. The task was created and under actions it is start a program, which I have specified the path to, and under General, it is set to run only when user is logged in and tun with highest privileges.

What (if anything) is wrong with this?

I manually ran the task, and the software came up indicating that it required admin access, despite the fact that I told the task to run it that way.

Hi

 

It was me who mentioned BlueIris to you so I feel a sense of responsibility here.

 

Are you aware that BlueIris does not need the app to run at startup; it can run as a service, the app is only there to administer this service?  Hence the App wants to be run as Administrator, but that's reasonable.

Have you done any of the mobile stuff, push notifications to its mobile app?

No, the mobile app is $9.99, and reading the reviews it sounds like it's really slow and does not work very well. As far as anything else mobile, I have not tried to setup notifications, I have 2 apps that allow me to access my camera's remotely.

    • For anyone looking for a lightweight formatting-free text editor, I recommend Notepad3.
    • This looks really dumb, especially if it costs $100+. Noone who cares about using a flight yoke would touch that thing, people who don't care are probably fine using the analog sticks on their controller, so who is it for?
    • A) "they shouldn't be making money off of those [free videos]"?? That is literally their business model, making money off videos that users post...if you don't feel like that should be allowed, then are you saying YouTube shouldn't exist. B) Yes, the example I gave is a net-negative transaction. If YouTube makes money from others who are following their rules, it doesn't change the fact that the person using an ad-blocker is costing them money. C) YouTube has always operated at a loss...kind of invalidates your entire argument. As I always say, I don't care what you do, I will not even say you are wrong for doing it. That is purely your choice. Just be honest enough to say something like "Google is rich, I honestly don't care." Perfectly fine reason. Don't act like there is some imagined justification for why it isn't breaking the rules.
    • You can now present content from your camera feed in Google Meet by David Uzondu Google has a new feature rolling out for Google Meet that lets you directly present video from an external camera feed right into your meetings. This means if you have a document camera for showing physical papers, a dedicated external camera for a better angle, or even output from a video production tool, you can now pipe that into Meet as a presentation source. This new option supports video up to 1080p at 30FPS. This "present from camera" function offers a more integrated way to handle certain video inputs compared to some existing workarounds. For instance, it might prove less complicated than a setup with OBS Studio where you arrange your various video sources into scenes, activate the virtual camera output, and then navigate Google Meet's settings to specifically choose "OBS Virtual Camera" as your video input before you can even start presenting that customized feed. Alongside this camera presentation feature, Google's announcement also mentioned several improvements to the general screen sharing experience in Meet. Initiating any type of screen share is faster now, and video quality during screen sharing has also been sharpened, with better handling of dynamic content like scrolling text or embedded videos. To reduce interruptions, if a second presenter stops sharing their screen, any previous presentation will now automatically resume. For those wondering when they can get their hands on this, the rollout for the camera presentation feature and these screen sharing enhancements has begun for Rapid Release domains. Users on Scheduled Release domains will start seeing it from June 11, 2025. Google notes that it could take up to 15 days for these features to be visible to all eligible users. Most Google Workspace accounts, including Business Standard and Plus, various Enterprise and Education tiers, and Workspace Individual subscribers, will have access. This new presentation option joins other recent Google Workspace enhancements. For instance, Gemini in Google Drive can now summarize changes to your files, offering a quick way to get updated on what you missed in documents since you last opened them.
