Windows 10: When I press window + R and select %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup...

When I press window + R and select %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup it starts a Select an app to open 'Username' pops out out of nowhere 1. I remove corrupted apps using Autoruns and that actually helped me asses the Issue of Login Select an app to open 'Username' that pops outbut still I couldn't solve the main issue

What is "Program" in taskmanager

Look for it in the usual places:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

It will be in one (or more) of those locations. Or you can just run msconfig, switch to the Startup tab and find it in that list. It should tell you which of the above it is in and what it is running.

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I have GPU-Z 0.8.0 and Windows 8.1. I also have a G 15 keyboard running LCDSirReal. My goal is to get temperatures for my two 980 GTX graphics cards to display on the keyboard's LCD screen. I am also running CoreTemp.

I have the Logitech Gaming Software set up to start when Windows starts up. LCDSirReal and CoreTemp are also starting up when Windows starts and CoreTemp is properly displaying cpu temperatures on the G 15 LCD after startup of Windows.

For the life of me, I can't get GPU-Z to start up when Windows starts up. I have to start GPU-Z each time after Windows starts to get it to display on my G 15 keyboard.

Is there a way to get GPU-Z to start up when Windows starts? I've uninstalled GPU-Z and reinstalled it but that didn't help. The GPU-Z.exe file is located at C:/Program Files(x86) and the GPU-Z shortcut is on the desktop as well as in C:/Users/Avedis53/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs.

Under "Properties" for the shortcut located in the Start Menu/Programs location, I have it set to run "Minimized", "Run this program as an administrator" is checked and I'm running GPU-Z in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.

I've tried creating a basic task for GPU-Z startup under the Task Scheduler. I set the trigger to "At system startup" and pointed it at the GPU-Z.exe file in Programs (x86). When I reboot that didn't work either. When I reboot my computer and check the Task Manager under the "Startup" tab, I do not see GPU-Z listed. Also, in the Task Scheduler, it indicates that GPU-Z's status is "Ready" not "Running" and the last run time is showing "Never".

Does anyone have other suggestions to try? I'm out of ideas.

 

Shortcuts copied to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs don't show up on the Start Menu

Hi,

Folders\Shortcuts in that location will not appear as tiles, but should appear on the list on the left side of the start screen...

The primary location for those folders\files is C:\ProgramData\Start Menu\Programs, but you will need to take ownership\change permissions to access it...

BTW... The C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup are some of the programs that actually launch st Startup and appear in the Taskmanager… Startup Tab...
