I've been spending 5 hours trying to autostart a Powershell scripts but i'm not having any succes.
Here's what my script looks like (testscript)
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath C:\Windows\Test\notepad.exe
saved as 2.ps1
Whenever i open the script (right click > open with powershell) it does work and the notepad.exe shows up in taskmanager, which is exactly what i want.
However, i can not get this script to auto startup.
I've tried a Task scheduler where i made a task that triggers on startup, program: Powershell.exe and arguments to my script.
This approach does nothing, no error, no message, no notepad.exe in task manager.
I've tried gpedit.msc, add a powershell script on it's startup option that also redirects to the script. This has the same outcome.
I also tried manually adding the script to C:\Window\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup
Same outcome as well.
Im on win10, 64bit.
