Hi fink... it's taken me some time to reply since I had a series of issues to resolve before having the information I needed.
I do not use a/v software. The only related kind of program on my PC...

Thank you... Yes, as a matter of fact that is the only things I've tried since the program has no startup option built in. I've tried launching it from the Windows startup folder and from Windows...

Was able to look at the logs in Event Viewer, and I looked at all events around start-up time, but didn't see anything suspicious. Not completely sure what I was looking for though.
I still have...

Thank you. When I have a chance I will take a look at this. I doubt any error will show though because Task Scheduler reports that the program was successfully launched even when it wasn't. I'd...

My Event Viewer does not work. I attached a screen shot.
It runs as a regular program, not a service. I have been thinking though that maybe I should try to run it as a service.

Have to say this is one of the strangest Windows things I've ever encountered (and that's saying a lot!).

Right you are jdc2000! I only switched to Windows 10 because my Windows 7 laptop got some kind of infection and I didn't want to bother to fix it. I figured it was a good time to make the move. At...

Thank you, yes, I just read that article. That's exactly what I tried. I created a shortcut to the .exe portable program file and set the shortcut properties to Run as administrator as described in...

Thank you for your help jcd2000.
Sadly, it didn't work for long. Lasted a few boots and now back in the soup. What the heck could this be?!
I tried putting it back as a task scheduler startup...

DOH!
That's IT!
I can't believe I didn't think of that! I can't tell you the number of times that I have told someone else to check their permissions if they have trouble running a file. But...

Thank you for your reply. The short answer is yes. I tried setting various delay times when I was launching the program with task scheduler.
I'm not sure why the external tools on that link...

Note that I said "task manager" a couple of times in the above. Every time I meant to say task *scheduler* not task manager.

So I am trying to add a start up program to start when my Windows 10 Pro 64bit machine boots.
When Windows boots, I see the splash screen for the program on the screen and it looks like it is...
