    How to RUN A PROGRAM ONLY AFTER INTERNET IS CONNECTED?


    I want my computer to automatically run a program (bat file) at startup only after my Internet connection is completely connected.
    How do I do it?

    You can use Task Scheduler and set a trigger and condition that checks the event logs for a successful connection.

    I haven't tried it myself but there's an example here: windows - How to launch a command on network connection/disconnection? - Super User

    I've tried that, but that doesn't work for me.
    It automatically runs the program when there is presence of network connection, not when it's completed connected. :)

    Here, I can't set the delayed start time because I cannot predict the time when network connection becomes active, my broadband connection doesn't cope up with proper timings. :)

    In Task Scheduler there's also a delayed start option. Under Advanced settings in the trigger page.
