Automatic startup not (fully) working

[Paruccone]

Describe the bug
Instructions say to overwrite the original fancontrol with the new one which I've done. But if original fancontrol was setup to run at startup this won't work anymore, most probably as the new exe, compared to the old, requires admin privileges. Same trying the copy/paste method described in the main page of the repo here.

To Reproduce
Install original TPfan to start automatically at boot, replace files with TPFanCtrl2, restart.

Expected behaviour
I'd like to have TPFanControl2 started automatically (achievable through task scheduler) and have the icon available on taskbar (not the case starting it in task scheduler and no way to access the GUI AFAIK). As a workaround I'm going to try to have it started at user logon rather than system-startup. Not ideal but should get the job done.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Win11 Pro 23H2]
• CPU Intel Core i7-12850HX
• BIOS version Latest available at time of writing
• Software release version [e.g. 2.0.0] Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 1

Additional context

[jlh-makeen]

I follow this one, I also would like autostart on my P16 gen 2.

CPU: i9-13890hx
OS : Win10 22h2

I tried the shell:startup and task schedulef setup and ticking "run elevated" in task sched but no success so far.
Let us know if you find a way :-)

Also if there is a way to run without admin privileges that would be better but I don't know of the Windows API to control the Embedded controller will allow it.

Works OK for me with a scheduled task. I had to run as "Windows 10", run with highest privileges and I also make it run at logon, not startup.
