How can I have a .bat file run on startup in the background on a windows computer? Also I'm not the admin, so I have to do it without admin priveleges. Its an old computer I bought at a garage sale.

1You can do that with Task Scheduler, but you may the work Admin to set it up for you. It will work if properly set up.– anonCommented Jul 13, 2021 at 23:46

3It sounds like you shouldn't be configuring this computer to run tasks on startup.– Frank ThomasCommented Jul 14, 2021 at 0:41

2I’m voting to close this question because it's about circumventing network security/policies at an institution.– DavidPostill ♦Commented Jul 14, 2021 at 12:38

1@KovyJacob That's malicious intent and a prosecutable crime. Why not do this on your personal computer or rent a server in an area with a low kw/hr cost? Libraries and schools often have their PC's OS reset to a fresh image (e.g. no changes are kept) in the early morning hours, but let's assume their PC's don't: libraries don't make a lot of money and serve their community with free education and knowledge, so if you manage to do this, it's not victimless, as the whole community pays for it (high utility use, premature equipment failures, etc.).– JW0914Commented Jul 14, 2021 at 13:20

Considering your latest comment on your initial post, the reason for your question sounds malicious. Having a miner running on a PC where it is not especially permitted may be in conflict with local law and/or library authorities. On top it will greatly impact it's performance as well as increase power consumption, which you're using to generate personal profit from.
That said, this is malicious intent, which is why this question should be closed by a moderator.
