This method avoids extra 3rd-party launcher, works with HDR and FPS unlockers, and bypasses the annoying Windows UAC prompt "Do you want to ... device?" every time you want to start the game. It works with GIMI and my 3DMigoto with DirectStorage.
It uses PowerShell, which is included with Windows 10/11. PowerShell is a built-in command-line and scripting environment that allows automation of system tasks.
PowerShell Script
Before running, change the paths:
You may rename script.ps1 as desired. It is intended as a reference, and if you are familiar with PowerShell, feel free to modify it as needed.
Test the script before proceeding to next step.
Set Up with Task Scheduler
Open Task Scheduler and create a new task.
Under General, check Run with highest privileges in General Tab
Check Allow task to be run on demand in Settings Tab.
In Actions, choose Start a program.
For Program/script, enter: powershell.exe
For Add arguments, enter:
-WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "Path to your .ps1 script"
Save the task with your desired name.
Make a Shortcut
Right-click on your desktop and choose New → Shortcut (or copy an existing shortcut).
Change the Target to C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "Your Name in Task Scheduler"
Change Start in to C:\Windows\System32
(Optional) Change the shortcut icon to point to the Genshin Impact executable.
Done — double-clicking this shortcut will launch 3DMigoto, FPS Unlocker, and HDR without third-party software or UAC prompts. You can also copy the shortcut to Start Menu.
