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.

    • This sooooo good! 🤣🤣🤣
    • How can all of these Neowin deals be "an all time low price". I find that pretty hard to believe.
    • Oh wow, a patch for an Unreal game to improve performance? We'll see...
    • Get this massive 4TB WD_BLACK SN7100 SSD at a new all-time low price by Taras Buria Xbox owners recently received a new storage upgrade option, which allows them to equip the Xbox Series X|S with 4TB of extra space. That card, however, has an eye-watering price tag—nearly as much as the 1TB Xbox Series S. On the PC side, though, things are much better. Right now, if you need a 4TB SSD without selling a kidney, you can get the WD_BLACK SN7100 PCIe Gen4 SSD. It is now available on Amazon at a new all-time low price after a 16% discount (nearly half the cost of the new 4TB Xbox Storage Expansion Card). The SN7100 is a fast, reliable, and, more importantly, affordable Gen4 solid-state drive. Its speeds are rated up to 7,000MB/s sequential read and 6,700MB/s sequential write, while random input-output speeds are rated at 900K IOPS read and 1,350K IOPS write. These specs are not record-breaking, but they are fast enough for modern gaming (DirectStorage is supported), fast loading times in games and apps, and quick file transfer. The WD_BLACK SN7100 has a limited five-year warranty and endurance rating up to 2,400 TBW. You can monitor the health of your drive in the WD_Black Dashboard app on Windows. As for compatibility, you can use the SN7100 in any PC that accommodates M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 drives, including PlayStation 5. It is compatible with PCIe Gen3 systems, but the maximum speeds will be limited. 4TB WD_BLACK SN7100 PCIe Gen4 Solid-State Drive - $249.99 | 16% off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
