    Problem with start up for one application


    Hi everyone, so i had an issue with an application logitech ghub a few days ago. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the software to see if it would fix the problem it hasn't, but it's not important. What happen is that the uninstallation/reinstallation process created another issue :


    logitech ghub won't launch at start up despites that everyhting is ok :

    • "always start after logging in" is checked in the software
    • In the start up tab of the task manager, i can see the entry, and it is activated


    I tried contacting the support but they told me they havn't been able to replicate this issue, they told me to do some basic actions, but so far, they can't fix the issue.


    I tried to do a clean installation of the software but still doesn't launch at startup.

    So i'm beginning to think maybe it's a windows issue.


    I searched in the registry, and i found the string value that is responsible for the software to start at pc launch, here is the native location :

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


    In a last attempt, i deleted it, went to the sofware, unchecked/checked the box, string value has been recreated, rebooted => still not launching


    I looked on this forum and i found a post about the same issue but not with the same application, the guy fixed the issue by creating the string value in another registry path, here is what i did :


    • opened regedit


    • navigated to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


    • Created a string value for "LGHUB" with the path being :"C:\Program Files\LGHUB\lghub.exe" --background


    • rebooted


    • Ghub is now launching at startup !

    But now, i have 2 entries for the same software in the startup tab of the task manager.

    I thought, maybe it was just what it needed to work fine, so i deleted the string i created, rebooted, issue came back.


    So considering that we have now 2 registry path where we can put the string value :

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER => the native one

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => where i create the string value myself

    i tried another trick :

    • Leave "always start after logging in" checked in the software
    • Deleted the string value created by the software in HKEY_CURRENT_USER when checking the box
    • Created the string value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    • rebooted


    It is working, BUT everytime the software launch, it is re-creating the string in HKEY_CURRENT_USER because it detect that the box is checked !

    I always end up with 2 entries for the same software in the startup tab of the task manager.


    So my question is :


    What could be "blocking" the launch of the software using it's native string value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER that isn't blocking it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ?


    If anyone can help !


    Thank you !

    :)

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    To further help you with your issue,
    follow the troubleshooting
    methods below:


    Method 1: Clean boot the system

    To check if there isn't any 3rd party software conflict, i.e., if any 3rd party application or startup item is causing
    the issue, you may try to clean boot the system and check for the issue. To perform a clean boot, refer to this

    link
    .

    Note:
    Refer
    "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
    to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: SFC scan

      and open
      Accessories.

      Command Prompt
      in the Program list and then select
      Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for
      confirmation, type your password, or click OK.

    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press
      ENTER:


    sfc /scannow

    For further reference, refer to this

    link

    Method 3:

    We also suggest you to check if there is any application called "CA
    Internet Suite" installed in your system. If you find such an application, follow these steps to uninstall the application:

      Control Panel, go to
