Hi, Please create a Batch file and then add it to the Task Scheduler or for better solution ; Create the following Vbscript next to NetDisabler_x64.exe and add it to the task scheduler manually or with Auto Start Tool 1.1
Script txt file :

I even try "Run with highest privileges" but still no hope. Here is my configs:

Am I doing wrong or this app doesn’t work with "Task Scheduler" (the default one). In the Action tab, I set:
1. Action: "Start a program"
2. Program/script: C:\PATH\NetDisabler.exe (I check the path, it’s correct)
3. Add arguments: "/D"
And when I try to run in manually, it just doesn’t work (Though it does work when I run the following: "C:\PATH\NetDisabler.exe /D" in powershell)
Please try to use it like this
@Echo Off
for /f "tokens=*" %%q in ('"%~dp0\NetDisabler_x64.exe" /Q') do set qRESULT=%%q
Echo Query: %qRESULT%
pause
Hello,
What do we supposed to see with the /Q switch?
It says that it will return the app status, but can not see anything…
By the way this is an awsome app!

John
Thanks for your Comment, We have tested it. The problem occurs because Net Disabler is running with administrator privilege but this is valid for different programs which are running with administrator privileges. To solve the problem, you can run FastStone Capture with administrator privileges.
strange,only just tried on win10
whenever the program is visible on the screen on or off, the very useful printscreen program faststone capture also the latest build , loses its capacity to use the hotkey printscreen for making full screen pnintscreens
,the program faststone capture does NOT lose its capacity to make printscreens,if i use the tray menu of the program it still makes printscreen of full screen which is printscreen hotkey but using the printscreen key to make printscreen of the window is very useful without having to go into the tray menu
when netdisabler screen is closed all returns to normal for faststone capture
If you want to hide Program interface on startup , select the Hide Window on Startup option under the Menu button.Programs that require admin authority do not start properly at system startup. For this reason, you can create a simple task that asks for admin authority using the task scheduler.You can open the task scheduler by opening the run window with the Win + R keyboard shortcut and giving the "taskschd.msc" command.Then, after creating a simple task with the Create Basic Task option from the action menu, you need to enter the task properties and mark the Run with the highest privileges option. Please follow the following instructions ;

On shared computers ,Next user can easily Close Airplane mode. (Was Just an example)
If only a simple connection cut off wouldn’t just clicking on Airplane mode do it?
