### To set up PersistentWindows to automatically start at user login:
|
||||
This can be done by creating a task in **Task Scheduler** on Windows 10/11, or by adding a shortcut to the **Startup Folder** (shell:startup) on Windows 7/10/11.
|

This can be done by creating a task in **Task Scheduler**, or by adding a shortcut to the **Startup Folder** (shell:startup).
|
||||
|
||||
For PersistentWindows to be able to restore windows with elevated privileges (for tools like Task Manager or Event Viewer), it needs to be run with Administrator privileges.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose one of the two options:
|
||||
|
||||
**Task Scheduler**
|
||||
* Double-click the *auto_start_pw.bat* file to run it. This will create a task in the Task Scheduler.
|
||||
* For Administrator Privileges:
|
||||
* *auto_start_pw.bat* should be run as administrator.
|
||||
Choose **one** of the three options:
|
||||
|
||||
**Task Scheduler (Windows 10/11)**
|
||||
* Run *auto_start_pw.bat* file (preferably as administrator) to create a task in the Task Scheduler.

|
||||
|
||||
**Startup Folder**
|
||||
**Task Scheduler (Windows 7/10/11)**
|
||||
* Create a pw.bat file in the installation folder with following content
|
||||
```
|
||||
start "" /B "%~dp0PersistentWindows.exe" -splash=0
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Launch a DOS window (cmd.exe) with admin privileges, goto (cd) the PW installation folder, and run the following command
|
||||
```
|
||||
schtasks /create /sc onlogon /tn "StartPersistentWindows" /f /tr "'%~dp0pw.bat'" /rl HIGHEST
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Startup Folder (Windows 7/10/11)**
|
||||
* Create a shortcut in the startup folder:
|
||||
* `Win + R`, type `shell:startup`
|
||||
* Create a shortcut to *PersistentWindows.exe* and place it in the Startup folder
