Since moving from W7, I have not had W10 successfully process such Startup apps as thinkorswim, and W10 gave no clue as to their failure (perhaps enabling Boot Log?). Even setting UAC to Never Notify didn't allow for success.
Thank you, Sakshi108! I registered to tenforums JUST to thank you for your simple solution!
I also wanted to give you kudos/badges/etc, but it appears that this forum doesn't have a reward/recognition system.

I'm surprised that UAC worked for you to launch a system-wide Startup app making system modifications. I returned my UAC slider to the default level after it failed to "fix" my problem. I had figured that my final workaround would have been to modify a Group Policy, but I didn't have the time to research that. Thank goodness for Sakshi108's suggestion.
There is a good way to run a program through Task Scheduler that eliminates the annoying prompt for "Do you want to allow this app to make changes".
This web page outlines the process: Disable Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? dialog box
When you create the desktop shortcut to run the task, be sure to use this command: schtasks /run /TN "foldername\filename"
The command in the instructions has formatted quotes that will not work if copy and pasted.
Alf,

Welcome to TenForums.
It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
