Autostart program when windows boots (no user session)

Autostart program when windows boots (no user session)

Is there any way to autorun an exe when windows boots up, but before user logs in? One of the options is register a windows service, however sometimes this is not possible. I'm looking for sth like a registry key (HKCU\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run).

"Just make a batch file to run the program and insert it into the standard startup scripts:

Navigate to Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc then press Enter
Under Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings open Scripts(Startup/Shutdown)
Double-click ""Startup"" in right pane.
Click Add and browse to your script and then click OK"
