You could create a Scheduler Task that runs automatically on the start, even when the user is not logged in:

schtasks /create /tn "FileMonitor" /sc onstart /delay 0000:30 /rl highest /ru system /tr "powershell.exe -file C:\Doc\Files\FileMonitor.ps1"

Run this command once from a PowerShell as Admin and it will create a schedule task for you. You can list the task like this:

schtasks /Query /TN "FileMonitor" /V /FO List

or delete it

schtasks /Delete /TN "FileMonitor"
