Thanks!

Hello,

Double check the steps below for Windows 11 to see if it may help for now.

Yeah, it's involved.

Tried it twice, still not working. Windows 11 is cancer so far, can't even make the bottom taskbar smaller without going into regedit lol.

What are you trying to run elevated at startup?

Windows can be picky about that.

ThrottleStop

If ThrottleStop loads anything other than the exe, it could cause it to not work.

Hi, somehow I cannot get it work to run netsh.exe as a standard user.

My goal:
switch between 2 NICs in my PC - 1 using a VPN connection, the other is connected directly (for gaming). I am currently switching using 2 batch files with the runas /user:administrator command where I have the issue that the script is executed sometimes with a delay of 20-30secs

My steps:
1) As Admin user
- I created a Win10 task "Switch_WAN_to_VPN" following the guide with the following parameters:

• general: use the following user account: standard user (not admin)
• actions:
  cmd.exe /c start "Switch_WAN_to_VPN" "%windir%\system32\netsh.exe" "interface set interface REGULAR enable"
cmd.exe /c start "Switch_WAN_to_VPN" "%windir%\system32\netsh.exe" "interface set interface GAMING disable"

- I tested the task and it works (for the test I put in the general tab the admin account under which the tasks should run)

2) As standard user
- I created a shortcut schtasks /run /tn "Switch_WAN_to_VPN"
- The tasks seems to be executed, but the NICs are not changed.

In order to fix it, I performed the following steps:
(1) I changed the user account under which the tasks should be executed from "standard user" to "admin user".
Then of course I cannot execute the task anymore as standard user (error: access denied) and I need again to use the runas /user:administrator command which gives me the delay.

(2) I changed the command slightly adapting the ":
"%windir%\system32\netsh.exe" "interface set interface REGULAR enable"
"%windir%\system32\netsh.exe interface set interface REGULAR enable"


Any advice?
