    SafeBoot Entry Showing in Autoruns


    I happened to run Autoruns and noticed the first entry showing as:

    "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell" "" "" "" "6/17/2017 1:07 AM" ""
    + "cmd.exe" "Windows Command Processor" "Microsoft Corporation" "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" "5/30/2017 3:10 AM" ""


    I have never seen this before. I recently installed v13.80 so it seems to have popped up in that version. Anyone see this before? I don't think it is malicious.

    Hi,

    Did you use Autoruns? It shows all the startup locations and entries.

    'c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe' keeps flashing up every few minutes

    I just installed Autoruns and right at the very top, there it is, listed under "HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/SafeBoot/AlternateShell.

    I unchecked it and reboot but didn't help.

    Then I deleted it and reboot but still nothing has changed...

    I see it (if "show empty locations" is unticked) in 13.80

    I can't remember seeing it before but then I always have that option ticked.
