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.

Shutting Down WampServer To shut down WampServer, click on the systray icon and select Stop All Services to shut down the Apache and MySQL services. The icon will turn red once all services have been shut down. Next you will right-click on the WampServer systray icon and click Exit to close the program.
WAMP is an acronym that stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It's a software stack which means installing WAMP installs Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your operating system (Windows in the case of WAMP). Even though you can install them separately, they are usually bundled up, and for a good reason too.
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
