    starting up a stand-alone .exe file during booting


    I have a stand-alone .exe file, which I would like to start automatically during booting.
    Putting a shortcut in the W10 startup folder does not do the job.
    Does this only work for installed programs?

    :)

    How to use standalone installer of .net 3.5 win 10

    I want .net 3.5 installed on my computer and instead of enabling it in windows features (It starts to download it), I want to install it with the stand alone exe file I have to avoid my slow and moody network.

    starting up a stand-alone .exe file during booting

    You need to put a shortcut to the program if you want to do that - you can't just put the .exe there.

    There are numerous other ways to do it though. Personally I'd add it to either

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Run and RunOnce Registry Keys (Windows)
