SDRTrunk Auto-start on Windows bootup

[polkaroo]

Once I add the sdrtrunk.bat to start as a service (along with Docker for Rdio-Scanner) on Windows 10, on login, I can hear the audio output but can't access the SDRTrunk window. Is there a "proper" way to do this for an unattended, headless machine so that on reboot it will automatically startup SDRTrunk? Am I forced to enable automatic login?

I prefer to keep the machine updated vs turning off Windows Update in group policy or power outage, etc. The computer is set to power on after an outage in BIOS and as extra measure, to bootup at 4am every day in case.

WIN+R will open the run dialog box, type in shell:startup. Place the .bat in that folder. I do that with SDRtrunk and trunking recorder and it even starts before i log into a user. If the program runs once it starts up, put a shortcut in there instead of a bat file.

I used the forced auto-login. Prior to this, it would auto-start but I did not have access to the machine until after login, makes it hard to remote manage. I have the windows 10 computer auto reboot everyday at 0300 to maintain a well running feed for B Calls.
