Problem

I have some programs running on start-up like Everything. UAC prompts every time the Windows starts. How can I set a program to make sure that no intervening prompt would appear during start-up?

Fix for: Selectively disabling UAC for specific programs on Windows 7

Low Risk

Task scheduler is an ok solution for something that runs on startup. But the most flexible way to do this is to use the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. It enables you to directly disable UAC for any application you decide to trust. The compatibility fix you need to select is RunAsInvoker. Edit 19.5.2023: Seems like the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit is not supported on Windows 11. However you can enable the same RunAsInvoker setting using NirSoft AppCompatibilityView.
