Hi Jannik, that is what I am planning to do. But I am struggling to find the right command line to put into script that add apps to the Windows Startup.

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. At line:6 char:1 + Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "RunAppAfterLogin" -Trigger $trigger ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (PS_ScheduledTask:Root/Microsoft/...S_ScheduledTask) [Register-ScheduledTask], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070005,Register-ScheduledTask

I have done the script with a path to WindowsApps folder.
I am not sure whether I have done the path right (whether I have found the right executables). But the first error I encountered is a permission error because WindowsApp folder is protected hidden folder.
I have used the -RunLevel Highest but seems not effective.
Here is the script:
$appPath = 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AppspaceInc.Appspace_2.54.0.0_x64__7nb6hsg4cq4xc' $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
Below is the output from debug.
Register-ScheduledTask : Access is denied. At line:6 char:1 + Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "RunAppAfterLogin" -Trigger $trigger ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (PS_ScheduledTask:Root/Microsoft/...S_ScheduledTask) [Register-ScheduledTask], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070005,Register-ScheduledTask
Any advice?
Thanks. - nhtkidNov 14, 2022Iron Contributor
Thanks for the script. It is really good.
Only one question, do you know what do I do with the path to a store app?
I am using a free store app called Appspace, a signage app.
It is saved in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. But it does not have an executable.
So how do I define a Windows Store App path?
Thanks!
