  1. Programs open randomly on startup


    I recently purchased an Acer Aspire A315-41-R5MD running Windows 10 Home - Version 1903 and from time to time programs will open at startup, these programs can range from programs that have the option to start on startup such as Hotspot Shield VPN, but in a few instances Microsoft Word and Excel have managed to open at startup. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why this may be happening or if there is any software I can install that prevents programs from running at startup. Here is a screenshot of the startup in Task Manager. Programs open randomly on startup 8ea7af6d-1fb2-4db5-8be1-046d67c293c6?upload=true.png

  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.

    OneNote 2016 opening on startup

    Hi,

    In order to turn off or disable OneNote 2016 at startup, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Taskbar, and select Task Manager.
    • On the bottom right of the Task Manager window, click the drop-down arrow to open
      More details.
    • Click the Startup tab. This tab shows the programs that are enabled on Startup.
    • Right-click OneNote 2016, and click Disable.
    • Click File, then Exit.
    • You may then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.
