Win Load After

Win Load After is a small Python utility for Windows that creates a scheduled task to ensure one program (e.g., Razer Synapse) only starts after another specified program (e.g., motherboard software) has launched and a user-defined delay has passed.

📦 Features

• Create a Windows Task Scheduler job that:

  • Monitors for a specific process to be running.
  • Launches a second executable after a given delay.
  • Executes on every user login.

• Useful for dependency-aware auto-start of software.

⚙️ How It Works

1. The user specifies:

   • Load-before process name (e.g., AsusMotherboard.exe or ArmouryCrate.)
   • Executable to launch after (e.g., RazerSynapse.exe)
   • Startup delay in seconds

2. The script:

   • Creates a Python script that performs the check and delay logic.
   • Registers a Windows Task Scheduler task to run this script in the background on user login.

🚀 Example Use Case

Ensure Razer Synapse only starts after ASUS motherboard tools are fully running:

1. Type in the process to wait for: ArmouryCrate
2. Select the Executable to start via GUI.
3. Type in a delay in seconds.

🛠 Requirements

• Python 3.11
• Windows 11
• Admin rights (for task scheduler)
• easygui~=0.98.3
• pyuac~=0.0.3
• psutil~=5.9.8

📥 Auto Installation

1. Clone or download this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/A-Temur/win-load-after.git

2. Click on install.vbs:

   • this will automatically install the python dependencies and will run the program after that.

📥 Manual Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/A-Temur/win-load-after.git
   cd win-load-after

2. Install required Python packages (if any):

   pip install -r requirements.txt

▶️ Usage

Just double-click on start.vbs, a simple GUI will appear.

📝 Notes

• The monitoring script runs silently in the background.
• The Windows task is persistent and re-runs at every user login.
• To remove the task, use the Task Scheduler GUI or schtasks /delete.
