Start privoxy with Windows 11 boot

Hello Readers, Here again, Im gonna to share the problem and the solution about privoxy program. Privoxy is and ad blocker and it must be started correctly in order to have internet if not it seems that you wont have. It is because it is set in the settings windows in proxy side
It doesnt have been started automatically because of an error looking for a config.txt or privoxy.log when started or tried trough command line with and without administrator. The solution is to create a scheduler, you can look for details in internet, I'll just add what I did trying and error until it works.
There are the values for each field in screen 3 in image above.
Program/Script:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Privoxy\privoxy.exe"
Add arguments ... :
configfile "C:\Program Files (x86)\Privoxy\config.txt"
Start in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Privoxy
Hope it helps out there.
