Register-ScheduledTask failed with Access denied (0x80070005). Writing to the
root task folder needs elevation, so the claim that this install needed no
admin was simply wrong. Rather than demand UAC, use two mechanisms that need
no privileges at all:
- a Startup-folder entry (AutoFirmer.cmd) runs start-all.bat at logon
- PM2's own --cron-restart with --no-autorestart drives the 5-minute update
check, so PM2 owns the schedule it was already going to resurrect anyway
Both still run in the logged-in interactive session, which is the requirement
that ruled out a Windows service in the first place: the clicker sends real
input and needs a desktop.
pm2 save now runs after the updater is registered, so `pm2 resurrect` brings
back all three processes rather than two.
