# Run programs on Windows Startup as Administrator
**EN** | [RU](README_RU.md)
## Description
This script allows you to create an application startup that will run as an administrator when a user logs into Windows (because startup in Windows itself does not allow you to run applications as an administrator).
This is achieved by creating an appropriate scheduled task.
## Requirements
- Windows 10/11;
- PowerShell.
You also need to enable the ability to execute scripts `*.ps1`, if not already enabled:
1. Run `PowerShell` **as administrator**;
2. Execute:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
```
## Usage
1. Run `PowerShell`;
2. Clone the repository:
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/Nikolai2038/run-programs-on-startup-as-admin.git
```
3. Reopen `PowerShell` **as administrator**;
4. Execute the script for creating a scheduled task:
```powershell
& "/task_create.ps1"
```
Enter (if necessary):
```powershell
R
```
The created scheduled task can be viewed in the `Windows Task Manager` and changed manually if required. The name of the task being created: `RunProgramsOnStartup`. Calling the `task_create.ps1` script again will recreate the task.
The task itself calls the script `task_script.ps1`, which, in turn, runs all shortcuts of programs located in the folder `/links` in a loop.
At the moment, the script works with shortcuts, not executable files. If there are no shortcuts, then nothing will happen.
