  1. Mysterious "Update" file in Startup programs?


    This is a follow up question to the one posted a few months ago: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...programs/a1c13bd9-d05f-4c23-abb4-efb927d3d130


    I actually discovered this entry shows up when you delete an app that was previously being executed on startup I manually deleted an app and after restarting the computer it showed up like this in the Startup entries.

    My question is about getting rid of this entries yes, I actually have two.

    I can't click on find file location since I deleted it, it makes sense nor click on properties. There doesn't seem to exist any alternative to just delete the entry, only disable them. But I don't want to get a collection of these in my startup entries.

    Any ideas?

    :)

  2. 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.
