Problem with SpeedFan during startup is resolved.

12-08-2016, 02:17 AM

I recently added SpeedFan to manage my noisy case fans. From what I understand, it lacks a "start at boot" feature. I attempted the usual fix by adding a shortcut that directs to the executable in the StartUp folder, which functions well for other applications. However, SpeedFan doesn’t behave the same way—it won’t load automatically unless I manually open it. I even set up a scheduled task to run it at boot, but it still shows "task not yet run" in the notes.

Hi, I haven't used SpeedFan (SF) myself, but I believe I assisted someone with a similar problem. The issue seems to be that SF tries to load as admin, and it's difficult to start apps at startup without admin rights (otherwise you'd get 20 popups from apps requesting access). A scheduled task would be my suggestion, though I think you've already tried that. Check out this previous post: https://forums. My thought is there might be a problem with the task you set up—possibly an incorrect configuration. These tasks can be tricky to create and require many settings to be correct. I'd recommend removing the task and starting fresh.

I’ll try to find more details.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand you're looking for the location of the Shortcut Wizard in Windows 10 to use manually, as the usual method is no longer available. Let me know if you'd like further assistance with finding it.

It seems like you're preparing instructions for a VBS script. The text describes the process of entering paths and filenames for running scripts, which aligns with typical VBS workflow steps.

Thanks to all the contributors! The answer came from using the task manager app, sending it to the desktop, and applying a shortcut. It was placed in the start-up folder. Great job on the forum!
