How to run a trusted program as Admin on windows startup?

Question

I have a exe file that trusted by one of root certificate in my computer:

• The root certificate I create by openssl and installed in Trusted Root location in certificate store
• The exe file is singed by a client certificate trust by above cert and have All application policies, when view this exe file's properties, windows report that its cert is OK
• The exe is put in trusted location (C:\Program Files)
• I put file path in Startup Folder, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
• My UAC setting is turn off
• Inside the exe file have this setting: requestedExecutionLevel level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='false'

Dispite what I had done, the program still refuse to start automaticly. Although I can add program in Schedule Task, or use other app to start this exe file successfully on startup, I wonder if there is anyway to start it directly. Do you know any way to achieve it?

PS: I'm running Windows 8.1 32 bit, use Administrator account and disable UAC setting.

Run it as a Scheduled Task "at log on" rather than "on startup."
