Don't you hate it when you install a program that is supposed to run at startup, and
"Windows Defender" blocks it?

Well, there is a way around this annoyance. Use the
Task Scheduler to schedule a task after the user logs on. Here is an example using
HD Tune. Delete the
Defender entry, and then run the
Task Scheduler. Create a new task, and set the general description.

Make sure you select "Run with highest privileges". Now go to the "Triggers" section, and add a new trigger:

The task should begin "At log on" and delay it for 30 seconds or so:

Now go to the "Actions" section:

Add a new action, to "Start a program", and browse for the program file to be launched.

Next, go to the "Conditions" section

Remove any of the conditions ticks, and then go to "Settings":

Now adjust the settings as shown. Voila! Save and close the scheduled task, log off and log on again to test it.
