Windows 10: How do I view Startup autoruns and execution commands?

Thank you for taking a look at my thread.

I see a Startup "Windows host process (Rundll32)" rated "High".

I am considering disabling it...

How would I view the autoruns and look at the full execution commands?

Much Obliged *cake

:)

 

Just when you think MS is getting a little Smarter/Microsoft kills off autorun

AutoRun you set a program to run sutomticaly depending on the media type or file type

so you say vlc to automatically play any mpeg videos


autoplay is that the box that brings up a list of commands like view and a list of programs to run it on?

 

Blocking execution of Autorun with Windows Defender?


If you have Home, there should be registry settings corresponding to the group policy settings, where you could disable Autorun.

The registry key and information on using it are towards the end of this MS article, which should let you disable Autorun completely.

See under this heading:
How to disable or enable all Autorun features in Windows 7 and other operating systems

This is how that group policy is described: Note the default behaviour at the bottom.

 

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
