📎 AI Summary:
The user seeks help with configuring their Lenovo ThinkPad tablet to automatically start the car navigation software Centrafuse upon boot, as previous methods like group policy, registry edits, and startup shortcuts have failed. Despite confirming compatibility and successful manual runs, the program refuses to launch automatically on startup. Contributors suggest checking event logs for errors and mention possible UAC-related issues, with the user finally resolving the problem by creating an elevated shortcut without UAC prompts and placing it in the startup folder.

HI

New to the forums

I am running win 10 ( 1607 ) on a Lenovo thinkpad tablet.

I am using it in my car for satnav, music etc.

I would like to have the car frontend software ( centrafuse - old but ok ) start when the tablet boots,
but I cannot seem to get this working.

I have tried many different methods, including group policy ( logon ), registry ( HK local machine etc), and also shortcut in the startup folder.

NONE of these methods work??

I have the correct path for the executable, and have even used third party start up programs to no avail .

Other programs start correctly, but this centrafuse.exe refuses to do so??

Strangely, I installed a ''lite'' version of windows 10 - and it worked straight away!

Unfortunately, these lite versions have too many other things removed which causes aspects of the software to not work :-(

If anyone more enlightened than me ( that makes most people) can help me, I would be very grateful.

Many Thanks

Most applications should start up fine with the methods you've tried. I would look in the event log for errors regarding the application they may tell you why it's not starting

Hi Thanks for the reply.

I have used Centrafuse with windows 10 for the past 3 years.

It works just fine :)

Still can't get it to run at start up though


THanks
