UAC prompt at boot about wsl-autostart

Task scheduler (Option 4) always works for me

Some additional changes required:

• trigger: on login (so it runs automatically)
• action: instead of running c:\wsl-autostart\start.vbs directly, run wscript with args c:\wsl-autostart\start.vbs (so it doesn't ask "open with basic script host?")

You can try this way to make wsl appliaction autostart
Win + R, type shell:startup and enter, add start-wsl.vbs in startup folder
Content of start-wsl.vbs

Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cmd = "C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe -c ""bash /etc/init.sh"""
ws.Run cmd, 0, false
Set ws = Nothing
WScript.quit

then make root as default user,
run in command line

debian config --default-user root

Currently, no way to avoid this.
but you can disable the UAC.

I'm getting this as well, kind of annoying but I'll deal with it since it's such a useful script.

没有必要获取系统权限啊，可以以用户身份启动 wsl 和服务

Or Raymond's first option, Winaero Tweaker: Create an elevated shortcut by https://winaero.com/blog/create-elevated-shortcut-to-skip-uac-prompt-in-windows-10/ (or more conveniently by the Winaero Tweaker as pointed out at the end of these instruction) and put it into the startup folder C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
