Running Powershell Commands on Windows 10 Startup with Admin Rights

If you're looking to automate certain tasks on your Windows 10 PC, you might want to run Powershell commands automatically when your system starts. For example, you may need to run the Restart-NetAdapter command, which requires admin rights. However, getting Powershell to run on startup with the appropriate permissions can be tricky. If you've tried placing a .ps1 script in the startup folder without success, don’t worry! In this post, we'll walk through a tried-and-tested method using Task Scheduler to achieve your goal.

Why Use Task Scheduler?

Task Scheduler is a built-in Windows tool that allows you to schedule tasks, such as running scripts or programs at specified times or events, like system startups. It provides necessary options to run processes under different user accounts, including those with admin privileges.

Steps to Schedule Powershell Command on Startup

Here’s a step-by-step guide to set up Powershell to run at startup with admin rights.

Step 1: Open Task Scheduler

Press the Windows key or click the Start Menu.

Type "Task Scheduler" and hit Enter to open it.

Step 2: Create a New Task

In Task Scheduler, find "Create Basic Task..." on the right sidebar and click on it.

Follow the wizard:

Name your task (e.g., “Run Powershell Command”).

Add an optional description if necessary.

Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Set Trigger

Choose "When the computer starts" as the trigger.

Click Next.

Step 4: Specify Action

Select "Start a program" and click Next.

Under the Program/script field, enter:

Under Add arguments (optional), add:

Replace C:\Path\To\Your\Script.ps1 with the actual path to your Powershell script.

Step 5: Run with Admin Rights

After completing the above steps, go back to the main Task Scheduler window.

Find your newly created task in the task list.

Right-click on the task and select Properties.

In the General tab, check "Run with highest privileges". This ensures the task runs with admin rights.

Step 6: Save Your Task

Click OK to save your settings.

You may be prompted to enter admin credentials if necessary.

Step 7: Reboot to Test

Restart your computer to test if the Powershell command runs successfully upon startup.

Ensure your script executes as expected and make any necessary adjustments if it does not work initially.

Conclusion

Using Task Scheduler to run Powershell commands on startup with admin rights is a reliable method to automate your tasks on Windows 10. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your system runs the necessary scripts whenever it starts up, without any manual intervention.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to check your task properties and ensure the script path and command are correctly specified.

Now you can enjoy a more automated and efficient computing experience!
