It is surprisingly difficult to run commands or scripts at startup/login on a Windows system without an unpleasant command-line window popping up. The simplest way to achieve a silent launch is by executing a Visual Basic Script on boot, with the necessary commands enclosed inside it.
This small utility (itself a .vbs file) guides the user through the process of generating and setting up such a script, with easy to understand, interactive GUI prompts. No programming knowledge or experience is required.
Run silent_cmd_autorun.vbs, follow the prompts, and step by step input the required data to generate the needed script.
The utility offers the option to copy the completed script into the current user's startup directory. Some anti-malware software may label this as "suspicious activity".
Tested on Windows 11, with Windows Script Host version 5.812.
