Stop UAC Prompts For Auto Start App

[Oubadah]

I use D3DOverrider, and I have it set to start with Windows. The problem is that UAC prompts me to allow it on every startup. How do I give it the privileges it needs for UAC to leave it alone?

Hello Oubadah, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You could use the tutorial below to create a elevated shortcut of this program to use to run at startup as a task instead without getting a UAC prompt for administrator accounts only. A standard user account will still get a UAC prompt.

Hope this helps,

I did up to step 12 of this:

And then steps 13 and 14 of this:

run at startup as a task

Seems to be working well. Thanks!

You're most welcome.

I spoke too soon - after a few boots it stopped working. So I did it the long way with the shortcut, but that didn't work at all. That way doesn't make sense to me either... looks like you're making a task, then making a shortcut to that task, then making another task to launch the shortcut on startup? Maybe I misunderstand...

Yeah, that's correct. It's a bit of a workaround to get it to work, but it usually works. You might start over to see if it may work this time in case some mistake may have been made.

Oubadah,
