Is a rather a lengthy procedure which involves using the Task Scheduler and creating shortcuts while UAC (User Account Control) remains enabled on the system but works fine. The example program name used during the following instruction is myTemp which is linked to the program Core Temp.

1.  Open Task Scheduler: Win key + R->taskschd.msc->OK

2.  Under 'Actions' (window on rhs) click on 'Create Task...'

3.  At the 'General' tab under

• 'Name:' enter a name of the program to run eg myTemp
• 'Description:' (optional) add a short description of the program
• 'Run with highest privileges' check the box
• 'Configure for:' select 'Windows 10'

4.  Go to the 'Actions' tab click on 'New...' under

• 'Program/script:' enter the command C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
• 'Add arguments (optional):' /c start "myTemp" "C:\Program Files\Core Temp\Core Temp.exe"

5.  Select 'Conditions' tab then under 'Power' in the following order

• Uncheck 'Stop if the computer switches to battery power'
• Uncheck 'Start the task only if the computer is on AC power'
• click on 'OK'

6.  Under 'Task Scheduler Library' (window on lhs) the new task 'myTemp' is shown

7.  Close Task Scheduler

8.  Create a new shortcut: Right click on empty area in desktop select New->Shortcut

9.  Under 'Type the location of the item:' enter: schtasks /run /tn "myTemp"

• click 'Next'

10. At 'Type a name for this shortcut:' enter myTemp

To get this program to run at bootup without the UAC add it to the 'Startup' folder at AppData->Roaming->Microsoft->Windows->Start Menu->Programs->Startup
