Run CMD as Admin on boot

[Valley_]

Whenever I boot my PC, I want the following to happen

CMD is opened as Admin

Runs the commands - netsh wlan start hostednetwork

 

How can I go about doing this? Doing it manually every time I boot is just a bit annoying

Write a batch script, that would ask for elevated privileges and then run the command.

Unless you disable UAC, you can't disable asking for Administrator access.

Open notepad, write the following into it and the save the text file ;

 

Quote

@echo off

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

 

Rename the text file, including the extension, could be something like : StartHotspot.bat (it's important here that you enabled the option to view file extension, if not, you're going to rename your file to *.bat.txt, and that won't work.).

 

Then move that to the startup folder ;

 

Open the Run window (Win+R)

Type : shell:startup

Press enter (or click ok)

Move your file to the folder that just opened.

 

You could also use a schedule task but it's a bit more involved.

Nope, I missed the part about file extension, happened to a friend of mine before and I just remembered to specify it.

If you set it up as a Windows Event (via Task Scheduler) then you should be able to let it run with system permissions without needing to confirm the UAC request.
