README

* = optional

Set up the foundation

  1. Create a folder for scripts (i.e., C:\startup-scripts) and place this script in it
    • Make sure it has .ps1 as its file type
  2. Launch Task Scheduler
  3. * Create a folder in the Task Scheduler Library (i.e., startup-scripts)
    • This can be added to any folder within the Task Scheduler Library. However, it is best to have some organization.

Testing the Script

This script can be tested by restarting the computer or right-clicking on it in the Task Scheduler and selecting Run. A PowerShell prompt should come up and show the script's process. The green audiodg is running! Set priority and affinity message means the script was successful and the dialog will automatically close after 5 seconds.
