I'm back. Here are my screenshots. I can't figure this one out.
This is the shortcut tab of the shortcut
This is the general tab of the task which launches speed fan.
This is the action performed by the task.
This is the general tab of the task which launches from startup.
This is the triggers tab of the task which launches from startup.
This is the action which the task which launches from startup performs.
From the best I can tell, it looks like you didn't create the elevated shortcut using the tutorial below first.
.....then afterwards, use the tutorial below to create a new task to run the actual shortcut created above at startup and log on.
Try to set a 30 second delay to get it to work. Worth a shot.
On the triggers tab> Advanced settings
Delay task for up to set for 30 seconds
Repeat task every set for 2 minutes
For a duration of set for 3 minutes
Put a check next to Stop all running tasks at end or repetition duration
This will apparently start a 2nd instance, then shut down the 1st allowing the settings to take hold
See if this works.

That would be the 3rd screenshot, with the cmd.exe command.
This part is represented in 4th screenshot. I know it's hard to tell, but one is called "SpeedFan" (tutorial #1, launches speedfan). The other is called "SpeedFan Launcher" (tutorial #2) which launches the shortcut created in #1......then afterwards, use the tutorial below to create a new task to run the actual shortcut created above at startup and log on.
You do not need to use cmd.exe or a shortcut to start Speedfan in the task scheduler.
When in the task scheduler, under the Actions tab select browse and point to the Speedfan.exe file in Program Files (x86) and add /t to the Add arguments box if you want Speedfan to open minimized.
Brink,
I have used the method I suggested to run Speedfan at startup on all my Windows 7 systems with no issues
as long as run with highest privileges is checked.
Is he running from a normal user account? I do normally use an account with administrator privileges.
