    Notepad error on startup


    Hi All,
    New to the forum and hoping for a solution to a small but annoying problem.
    I have Windows 10 version 1909 (OS build 18363 778)

    Each time I start up my laptop I get the following, notepad opens with the message

    C:\users\my name\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\startmenu\programs\startup\desktop.ini

    I've tried all I can with my limited tech knowledge to stop this but failed, I know it's not critical but it is annoying, any help would be most welcome.
    Thanks

    :)

    Hi, my first thought would be to carefully examine your startups. Of course you can start with the basic list in the task manager, but Autoruns (free from MS) gives a lot more.

    The list is divided into sections; for example you can see those from the Startup folder.

    Startups can also be triggered as scheduled tasks (also shown by Autoruns), not just registry locations or the Startup folder.

    I followed your suggestion but wasn't able to find Notepad listed on the startup. There are some listed as program but don't know which ones it could be.
