OpenVPN Autorun and Autoconnect on startup

[ninenight]

Hi
I am using Windows 10 64bit. I tried to autorun and autoconnect OpenVPN on windows startup through Task Scheduler according to this article
https://www.cactusvpn.com/tutorials/how-to-auto-start-openvpn-gui-on-windows/
(Please note I think the arguments line was incorrect as it prompt error when startup so I changed)
Here is my arguments line --connect “xxxx.ovpn”
The complete details will be like this
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect "xxxx.ovpn"
However, when startup, it prompted it couldn't find the xxxx.ovpn. My ovpn files are put under folder the default folder config with the password text.
Did I miss anything?

Your arguments line might work if you auto start the exe file in Task Manager>StartUp tab - the modern equivalent to msconfig. If that exe file has an attendant Service, is that set to start automaticlly without a delayed start? All this has to be in the right order.

Maybe the Command Line would work better than the Control Panel Task Scheduler, using the "at" commands.
