set a program to auto start at logon

[mircot80]

Hello.
With Windows 10 pro is possible to set a program to auto start at logon and no start explorer.exe (like Windows server)?
Thanks

Replace this with whatever you want

Changing the shell key works but when I close the program the session does not disconnect automatically.
Is there a solution?

try using notepad.exe as your shell. when you close notepad, it should log you out of RDP automatically. If it doesn't, there is a problem with windows. If it does, there is a problem with whatever program you are trying to use.

It is a shame the "start the following program on connection" setting in the RDP client wont work.

I tried with notepad but when I close it does not make the automatic logoff

I tested it myself and it didn't automatically log off for me neither. Older versions of windows would do that. Would you test it on a non-rdpwrapped computer?
