- Using
taskschd.msc
, it is possible to schedule a task after the startup of the computer.- You may configure which user will run the program, a delay before run and a number of retries.

In addition, note that the scheduled task can be created programmatically using Powershell. An user may run a .ps1
script to installs the wsl-autostart
as a scheduled task very easily.
