Windows 10: Programs won't start with Windows - Startup tab is empty

Hello, recently bought a new computer with a Windows 10. I've set a few programs to start with Windows (when I turn the PC on), but none start with it. Moreover, when I go on the Taskbar and navigate to the Startup tab, it's empty.

I tried to manually add those programs to start with Windows adding them to shell:startup but that didn't do anything either and I'd prefer not doing it manually.

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Windows 10 won´t start any program as Administrator

Hello. I´m having this issue since installed one of the latest Windows 10 system updates.

When I try to open any program that requires Administrator confirmation (that screen with the Yes/No question), this dialog won´t appear anymore. The screen background stays darkened and nothing happens.

1. Using Windows 10 Home (x64)
2. My microsoft user account is properly checked
3. I´m the administrator of the PC
4. Already tried do create another administrator user account - same problem, no success
5. Cannot start any program/service that requires administrator authorization (not even regedit)

Please help!

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I have GPU-Z 0.8.0 and Windows 8.1. I also have a G 15 keyboard running LCDSirReal. My goal is to get temperatures for my two 980 GTX graphics cards to display on the keyboard's LCD screen. I am also running CoreTemp.

I have the Logitech Gaming Software set up to start when Windows starts up. LCDSirReal and CoreTemp are also starting up when Windows starts and CoreTemp is properly displaying cpu temperatures on the G 15 LCD after startup of Windows.

For the life of me, I can't get GPU-Z to start up when Windows starts up. I have to start GPU-Z each time after Windows starts to get it to display on my G 15 keyboard.

Is there a way to get GPU-Z to start up when Windows starts? I've uninstalled GPU-Z and reinstalled it but that didn't help. The GPU-Z.exe file is located at C:/Program Files(x86) and the GPU-Z shortcut is on the desktop as well as in C:/Users/Avedis53/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs.

Under "Properties" for the shortcut located in the Start Menu/Programs location, I have it set to run "Minimized", "Run this program as an administrator" is checked and I'm running GPU-Z in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.

I've tried creating a basic task for GPU-Z startup under the Task Scheduler. I set the trigger to "At system startup" and pointed it at the GPU-Z.exe file in Programs (x86). When I reboot that didn't work either. When I reboot my computer and check the Task Manager under the "Startup" tab, I do not see GPU-Z listed. Also, in the Task Scheduler, it indicates that GPU-Z's status is "Ready" not "Running" and the last run time is showing "Never".

Does anyone have other suggestions to try? I'm out of ideas.
