Windows 10: Execute command automatically directly at start of cmd?

Is it possible that a command like "cd \... " so that I am directly in the selected directory after each startup?

:)

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Using PowerShell via MMC to execute admin level CMD commands

I'm new to PowerShell. I want to do something like this on shutdown before turning off the computer. I plan to have Windows MMC/Local Group Policy Editor do it with a PowerShell script.

Basically, after triggering the shutdown or reboot event it should:

1. Open CMD as admin (and automatically select Yes at UAC?).
   
2. Execute SOME COMMAND (there will be many).
   
3. Close CMD and then allow Windows 10 to shutdown/reboot.
   

Now, I know how to get MMC to add a PowerShell script to execute before the shutdown command is completed. I just need to know the syntax on how to do the above three steps.

To be clear though:

My main point is to be able to open CMD as admin, type in a command and then exit CMD. PowerShell does not normally execute a few particular commands as admin correctly, but CMD does. In that way, PowerShell itself does not need admin privileges, just the temporary run CMD.

I dont' mind clicking YES on a UAC, when needed, because I figure if it comes down to it, I can probably just used sendkeys {TAB}{TAB}{ENTER} or something. What I can't seem to find on the interwebs is how to start a PowerShell script so that one can save it. I'm seeing a lot on sendkeys in syntax though. In bash in Linux, it's simple: #!/bin/bash and presto insta-bash, but Windows seems bass-ackwards in this regard.

If there is a better way to do this than, CMD > Echo "stuff" > exit CMD, please let me know. I know what stuff I want to type in each Echo "stuff" (or rather, sendkeys, if I end up using that), I just don't know how to open CMD as admin.

Thanks.
