Any idea on the fix for GPU TWEAK? or i need to make another clean install? Still asking UAC on start and as image on top/

I believe it's not a problem with GPU tweak. It's a problem with the new Windows 10 Fall Creators update.

You see they added a new feature that you can't disable with this update. It will automatically start programs you had open when you shut down your PC. (Not all but some). Because your GPU tweak etc. are programs that are simply minimized and thus remain open when you shut down PC now Windows 10 forces them to restart and it will ask for UAC every single time. For me also GoG Galaxy will open up by itself even though in the settings auto start is disabled.

It's a horrid feature and I don't know what Microsoft was thinking as there is no way to disable this feature.

I ran the fast ring insiders for the entire fall update campaign. That was not in the notes of any of the updates. Yes it does restart what you had open when you shut down. but this is arguable as to how it exactly works. Ill dive a bit deeper into it because I dont normally leave things up and running before I shut down. I was having UAC issues with GPU tweak until I modified Task Scheduler. Never again since. I have multiple other items that launch and minimize to task bar that I never shut down and never got UAC prompts for those from day one of the update as they all have proper publisher names and they all were added to the Task Scheduler with highest privileges. I dont think I have a rogue installation. Ive explained what I did and it worked for me.

I do see the monitor not saving now. Id never noted that before as I don't use that function. My only interest in GPU tweak is setting the core, memory, power and volts. I don't have fans and monitor what I am interested in with another solution that also launches and minimizes but not once did it ever prompt UAC Id be happier if I could set the card up once and be done without ever having to launch the software unless I wanted to change it again without having to flash the Vrom with an edited Vbios.

The FC update is still evolving. They knew it wasnt perfect prior to launch, it never has been before either. They stopped adding things to it more than a month before and just concentrated on stability.


Edit:
Someone on win10 forums has made a context menu that is added to your right click on the desktop to shutdown open programs and restart and multiple shutdown options as well. This is actually faster than start, power then shutdown or restart.

These are registry entries so do so at your own risk. I tested them both and they work as presented for me.

Thanks for these notes. after checking in the end is MS. so far the information save on the program sticks. if it stick i am ok with that. but still odd let see that new updates MS changes during the weeks and maybe there is some improvement. thanks to all and see MS put their pants again.
