Have WAMP start automatically upon Windows start-up (without logging on or any UAC interference)
ApacheWindows 7WampWampserverApache Problem Overview
I'm looking to have WAMP start when I switch on the computer. Ideally it would start without users even having to log on. I've added WAMP to the start-up in the registry but a user needs to have logged on and UAC is still playing it's annoying part.
Is there a way to accomplish this without logging on or UAC interfering?
Thanks.
Apache Solutions
Solution 1 - Apache
Follow these instructions to start the appropriate WAMP services on start-up. UAC will not interfere here and there is no need to log in to start your web-server:
-
Log in as an administrator.
-
Start -> Run "services.msc"
-
Right click the service wampapache (may also be called wampapache64). Go to properties and set start-up type to 'Automatic'
-
If you want MySQL to also be available on startup, then repeat step 3 for wampmysqld (or wampmysqld64)
Tried and tested on Windows 7-10
Solution 2 - Apache
- Open Task Scheduler
- Under "Action" > Create a Task
- Give some name
- Trigger > New > Begin The Task > “At Startup”
- Actions > New > Browse > c:\wamp\wampmanager.exe
- Hit OK
- Restart and Check
Solution 3 - Apache
- What you need is to create a batch file with path of wampserver.exe
- Make Windows Task Scheduler Run the Batch file
- Open Startup:shell to make the batch file run automatically when the computer Start
- Disable UAC put it on NERVER NOTIFY mode so that you don't have message when Wamp Server starts.
I found a blog that gave all the steps plus video here: https://ddroid509ht.blogspot.com/2019/07/open-wamp-server-on-startup.html
