Usage: Run at Startup

To run the program in the background and have it start automatically with Windows, you can use one of the methods below.

Method 1: Startup Folder (Easiest)

This method automatically runs the program when you log in.

1. Place SetTimerResolution.exe in a permanent location (e.g., C:\Tools\).
2. Right-click SetTimerResolution.exe and select Create shortcut.
3. Right-click the new shortcut and choose Properties.
4. In the Target field, add your command-line arguments after the executable path.
   • Example:

   C:\Tools\SetTimerResolution.exe --resolution 5000 --no-console
   

5. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
6. Type shell:startup and press $\text{Enter}$. This will open your user's Startup folder.
7. Move the modified shortcut into this "Startup" folder.

The program will now run with your chosen settings every time you log in.

Method 2: Task Scheduler (Advanced)

If you prefer more control (e.g., running with elevated privileges), you can use the Task Scheduler:

1. Place the SetTimerResolution.exe binary in a permanent location (e.g., C:\Tools\).
2. Create a Scheduled Task (set to trigger "At log on").
3. Set the action to "Start a program" using the following command:

C:\Tools\SetTimerResolution.exe --resolution 5000 --no-console
