Autoruns stops just short of doing what you think it will do.

I think I can figure out how to edit the Registry, but, I'm thinking that there has to be a program like Autoruns, that will let me stop and start my Startups and Services, in bulk . . . am I right?

:)

Please download Autoruns, Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs.

• Extract the zip and run Autoruns or Autoruns64.
• In Autoruns, click File and choose Save.
• Save it as ARN on your desktop, this could take a while.
• Go to your desktop, right click the ARN file and choose Send to and select Compressed (zipped) folder.

Upload the zip folder

Windows 10 Autorun?

Hello,

As you are asking whether the security of disabling Autorun/Autoplay option from system settings is the same as disabling from the registry and will take affect in the same way. There is no need to worry about virus threats which usually attack from autorun/autoplay.
If you want to disable autorun/autoplay from registry, follow the steps provided below:

• Type regedit in the search box and press Enter.
• Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
• In the right pane of the window create a new DWORD value "NoDriveTypeAutorun".
• Set the value based on the following requirements:
  • FF – To disable AutoRun on all drives
  • 20 – To disable AutoRun on CD-ROM drives
  • 4 – To disable AutoRun on removable drives
  • 8 – To disable AutoRun on fixed drives
  • 10 – To disable AutoRun on network drives
  • 40 – To disable AutoRun on RAM disks
  • 1 – To disable AutoRun on unknown drives
• If you want to disable AutoRun on a certain combination of drives, you’ll have to combine their values. For example, if you want to disable AutoRun on CD-ROM and removable drives, set the value of DWORD to 28.
• If you want to return AutoRun functionality, just delete the NoDriveTypeAutorun DWORD value.

Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore,
make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following
