3. **run_updates_admin.ps1**: Checks for updates (Winget, Chocolatey, Windows Update) and runs them. Automatically prompts for Admin privileges if needed.
4. **start_ollama.ps1**: Starts Ollama service automatically at Windows startup and ensures the nomic-embed-text model is available for text embeddings.

### run via PowerShell

```powershell
.\install_startup_shortcuts.ps1
```

If you prefer to manually create shortcuts:

1. Press `Win + R`, type `shell:startup`, and press Enter.
2. Right-click in the folder > New > Shortcut.
3. Target: `powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\projects\workstation\6_Symbols\startup\desktopscripts\launch_chrome_urls.ps1"`

## Verification

1. Restart your computer or log out and log back in.
2. Verify that Chrome opens with the tabs and a PowerShell window opens with Gemini.
