Windows Autostart Admin

Auto-launch a Windows desktop script or program with admin privileges at user logon. Covers the three viable mechanisms (Task Scheduler RunLevel=Highest, startup-folder shortcut, AHK self-elevate), the .lnk RunAs-flag pitfall, and how 3rd-party launchers (Quicker, Power Automate, etc.) fit into the picture. Use when a user reports "works when I double-click it but doesn't start at boot", "startup shortcut silently fails", or wants to add a logon-time admin task.
