Scheduled Task

I'm having a very weird permissions problem with a scheduled task.

I want to have a program start when Windows starts up (even before I log in). This is working successfully using a scheduled task. However, it doesn't seem to get run with administrative privileges, or at least something weird is happening.

When I use the program when started from Scheduled Tasks, it cannot access my NAS for whatever reason. If I close it after it's automatically started, and run it again regularly, it works fine. If I close it again, and run it using "Run" under scheduled tasks, it again does not work properly. I have tried running it as my own user (which is an administrator), and also even enabling the administrator account itself and running it as that user. Neither way seems to work. In the scheduled task properties, I have it "Running with the highest privileges".

I'm perplexed and have no idea what's going on. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
 
Typically, "Run with highest privileges" usually solves issues related to permissions/run-as-admin. Can give some more details about what the task is doing? That might help or hint towards a problem.
