Create Elevated Shortcut without UAC prompt in Windows 10  

Thank you.

It looks like your command is incorrect.

You should have cmd.exe in the Program/script field at step 7 instead of "C:\Program Files\procexp64.exe".

You're most welcome.

Hello @vijer,

I just tested this with TreeSize Personal from below (if same program), and it worked for me.

Disk space manager cleans up hard disks!

Please go ahead and post screenshots of all your settings in Task Scheduler and the shortcut from the tutorial to see if anything may stand out.

Hello AmigaRoots,

I'm not aware of a way around the quick command prompt flash since it's used to run the app.

You can certainly try the NirCmd to see if may work though.

Thank you for the excellent guide Brink - works a treat!

Wonder if you have a workaround for the annoying flashing/blinking cmd windows that momentarily appear when opening these shortcuts. Enabling "Hidden" in the Task properties doesn't help.

I remember some people using NirCmd (and perhaps its "win hide" command) but not sure if it can be applied here.

Is it viable to run it as a VBS script?
