    startup not showing a specific program although that program automatically starts anyway.


    I run Windows 10. Maybe 6 months ago I put Firefox.exe in my startup folder (running shell:startup). From then on, whenever I booted Windows, Firefox would start, just as I wanted it to. About a month ago, Firefox didn't start up when I booted my machine. So, I started it manually. Everything was fine for 5 or 10 minutes, then a second copy of Firefox started up. I went to shell:startup, and Firefox was missing. I right-clicked on the task bar and selected Task Manager and then selected the startup tab. It showed maybe 8 or 10 items, but no Firefox. However, every time I boot Windows, I just manually start Firefox (since I don't want to wait) and then , after a 7 minute delay, Firefox will start running again and I have to kill this second copy. Is there something I can do to fix this situation? I want Firefox to automatically start up right after the boot, not 7 minutes later.

    :)

  2. Startup Programs not showing.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Which programs are you referring to?

    It indicates that there are no programs that are scheduled to start on system Startup. If you want to start a particular program on startup, then a programs or shortcuts placed in the Startup folder will run whenever Windows starts.

    • Go to This PC
    • Navigate to C:\Users\User Profile \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    • User profile in the above path will be name of your account you logged into.
    • Copy and paste the shortcut icon or .exe file into the startup folder, which you wanted to start automatically on System Startup.
    Reboot your PC and now check if they show under Startup.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

  3. programs start automatically

    Hello Sikharesh,

    Since the issue occurs after an update, possible that some Windows system files have been corrupted or some of the programs are included in the startup applications. For us to efficiently assist you, could you tell us if the issue is happening in specific
    programs?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try to check if the applications are included in the startup apps. To do so, you may refer to steps provided in this
    article on how to change startup programs in Windows 10.

    Keep us posted so that we can further help.

  4. startup not showing a specific program although that program automatically starts anyway.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
