Windows 10: Startup in Task Manager

Windows 10. My Startup page in Task Manager shows no programs, yet I still have a program starting upon startup. I have already tried a few "fixes" recommended online, without success, such as:

- Recreating the Startup file in C:\Users\[YOUR_USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- Running an sfc scan
- Checking my Time and Language settings
- Running DISM tools
- Creating a new User with Administrator privileges
And I cannot do a System Restore since I have not created a restore point.


All I want to do is stop a program from starting on startup.
What is the issue here?

Windows 10 - cannot add exec to Startup in Task Manager

I purchased a new computer with Windows 10 already installed. I am trying to add an exec to the startup list but Win10 will not accept it. The exec runs successfully on my Windows 10 machine if I start it manually.

Steps I've taken: Task Manager, Startup Tab, File>Run New Task. (browse to location, select.) It will start immediately, but does not show up on the list to autostart, nor does it start on reboot.

Any suggestions?

 

Task Manager-Startup

Here are three methods to invoke a task:

1. By placing a program or a shortcut into this folder:
   
   c:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
2. By specifying it in this registry location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
3. By creating a scheduled task that gets triggered at startup or at logon time.
