Open App And Enter Login Works Manually But Not After Reboot - (Moved)

[rts329]

Hi all.

I'm using Task Scheduler to restart my computer at, for example, 12:00am, and then also to run an AutoIt script at 12:05am. The script works when I just run it by manually running the script, and it also works if I run it by manually selecting "Run" from Task Scheduler, but when it runs following the system reboot it does not work. Following the system reboot, the application runs and then the Windows Explorer box (what opens when the Windows key is pressed) opens, and no text is entered anywhere. Can someone help me understand why this is the case and suggest how I can get around it?

```

; Set username and password for autologin here
Local $username = "myUser"
Local $password = "myPass"

; Set app login window ID from AutoIt
; Open Au3Info and go to Window Info -> Window -> Class. Copy/paste the window class and place between "[CLASS:]"
Local $appWindowID = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.1d2098a_r7_ad1]"

; Set 'target' property in app shortcut properties here
Local $appPath = "C:\app.exe"

; SCRIPT

; Wait 2 seconds before running script
Sleep(2*1000)

; Open app
Run($appPath)

; Get app login window once it opens
$window = WinWaitActive($appWindowID)

; Wait 5 seconds for window to load, then activate it
Sleep(5*1000)
WinActivate($window)

; Click on username field
MouseClick("left", 956, 560)

; Select all and delete
SEND("^a")
SEND("{BACKSPACE}")

; Enter in username
SEND($username)

; TAB to password box
SEND("{TAB}")

; Enter in password
SEND($password)

; Press "ENTER" to log in
SEND("{ENTER}")

```

Moved to the appropriate AutoIt General Help and Support forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Try adding a GUI to the program.
You will find that after Windows starting the GUI it doesn't show up, although you can see your program already running in the TaskManager.
But if you pay attention, it will be run under the system user account, so there is no interaction with the current user's Desktop.
