    Hello guys,I was wondering if anyone could help me... so recently i stumbled across this music visualizer program called SYQEL, i suspect they are doing something malicious.It claims to be an AI powered music visualization app, but when i downloaded it, it *barely* works, and makes the whole computer run extremely slow.Furthurmore, since installing i've seen this weird app {60B51489-84A3-4CE0-8F75-EA338AFF48F1}.exe it runs at startup and uses about 800mb of ram and also seems to break my ram detection in task manager? Though im not sure about the last one, but i dont remember it saying 31.9 he

    Startup programs not launching on startup

    Replying to Brink none of that works here is why-
    Step 1- No items listed in startup on task manager as stated.
    Step 2- I dont have shell:Startup on the pc as it cannot be located
    Step 3- I dont understand that option also the startup folder cannot be found
    Step 4- No apps showing under startup on settings
    Step 5- Dont have access to advanced options at all for any apps
    Step 6- Doesn't work.

    Thanks for trying

    - - - Updated - - -
    @dalchina, Will try the program now and no I have no suitable restore points and also nothing that I am aware of has been updated besides for Windows Updates but nothing major. WIll respond once I try the program.

  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Mysterious Programs Running at Startup

    I sporadically get unexpected "need to update" warnings from various programs. Right now, the laptop on which I'm typing this message gave a warning, after waking up from hibernation, from "Auslogics Driver Updater" asserting that several drivers need updating.

    I don't see this program in my list of programs, from either the Control Panel "programs" applet, nor from IOBit Uninstaller. I don't find it in the startup programs, nor do I see it buried in Task Scheduler. Ditto for services.msc unless it's named something I'm not noticing.

    Other programs that I do recognize behave similarly: sporadic "program can be updated" warnings yet no sign of them in the startup items , the task scheduler, or the services..

    What am I overlooking?: How else can something be auto-initiated? These are x64 Win10 pro machines.
