    Running shell:startup opens the wrong directory?


    Hi all!

    I've searched how to add programs to autostart, and the most pages says that I should go to shell:startup, but when it does that, it opens the directory mypc/music/startup

    That can't possible be the right?

    Now manually opened C:\Users\Nemesis\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup which seems to be correct.
    Does your computers open the right directory?
    Any thoughts about this?
    Is there any other way to autostart programs in windows 10?

    I'm currently running Windows 10 v1909 18363.535

    :)

    Wrong path for Windows 10 shell startup?

    Welcome to TenForums @rpjd

    Yes, it should be, and it is for me. That's the personal 'per user' startup folder. No idea how /Word/ got inserted, it's probably just this one user profile that's corrupted. Try as a test creating a new user and see if that has the correct shell:startup behaviour.

    nearly, the full name is shell:Common Startup
    *Arrow Shell Commands List for Windows 10

    That's the 'All users' startup folder. Does that also get a superfluous /Word/ inserted?

    Running shell:startup opens the wrong directory?

    Shell experience not running in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Does that mean the Start menu Cortana and the Task bar is not responding?

    • Which is the current build installed on the computer?

    • Did you install any third party security application?

    • Where exactly did you find that the shell experience not running?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Hope the information helps. Please get back to us with the required information. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
