Windows 10: Start programme at boot?

Seemed obvious - just create a shortcut in the Startup folder. But though I have checked I am in the right folder, the programme doesn't start.

Even though I have allotted plenty of space for System Restore points, they keep disappearing. Have spent quite some time over the past year or more Googling why this should be - tried various 'solutions', registry 'hacks' included, but to no avail. So instead, I have a programme which shows currently available System Restore points and allows you to create a new one in the same GUI. I can run it manually OK, but I don't often think about it.

In Windows 7 it ran at startup just fine, appearing on the desktop every time I booted: I can then see whether all my restore points have vanished again and create a new one before it's too late. SO frustrating if you need to do a system restore only to find they've all gone. But in Windows 10 the programme just refuses to load, unless I click on the shortcut manually. Tried making the shortcut run as administrator and set it to compatibility mode, but still nothing.

Any ideas? Windows 10 Pro x64.

Thanks.

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Where are my programmes listed using Windows 10

I have just bought a new laptop with windows 10 and have downloaded various programmes. Where are they ?!

I can't find a list of them anywhere. They are not added to those daft boxes on the front screen and they are not in the list when I click on the Start button, just some are listed but not many and in an order I don't like, last purchased then frequently
used (not) and who wants 'suggestion for paid programmes' ?)

Thx in advance
