A command set to execute via RunOnce or RunOnceEx may not execute as expected.
The registry keys effected are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunonceEx
Symptoms
This will occur if you log on with a Standard User Account.
This is by design.
Cause
To execute commands from those registry keys, you must log in with an Administrator account. This issue effects only users with a Standard User account. If the user has an Administrator or Split Token, the execution proceeds.
