      Does this help. For sure you have to customize this script. If you have questions or if you need support let me know.

       

      $appPath = 'C:/...../app.exe'

$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtLogon
$user = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" # Specify the account that runs the app
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute $appPath # Specify what program to add arguments use -Argument ""
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "RunAppAfterLogin" -Trigger $trigger -User $user -Action $action -Force # Specify the name of the task to run with system permissions use -RunLevel Highest

        Actually, I just tried the iTunes, also permission denied.

        So maybe it is referring to the permission to run the scheduled task, not necessarily the path to apps?

         

        { $appPath = 'C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe'

$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtLogOn
$user = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute $appPath
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "RunAppAfterLogin" -Trigger $trigger -User $user -Action $action -Force -RunLevel Highest }
Register-ScheduledTask : Access is denied.
