I'm still using some older utilities that load at bootup. They trigger the "load as administrator" routine, which is an annoying interruption that requires a user click. Is there a way to force Win10 to auto-load programs (either specific ones, or alternatively any program) without user intervention?
(Running Win10-Pro 1909; the latest available for my ThinkPad)
I use this registry hack to avoid from: .exe, .bat,.cmd, .vbs file extensions
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{E2F13B98-650F-47DB-845A-420A1ED34EC7}User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.bat;.cmd;.vbs" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.bat;.cmd;.vbs"
Set the applications up in Task scheduler, see

then don't try to start the applications themselves at startup but run their TS tasks instead.
