Windows 10: Startup program called "Program"

I installed some programs that block websites in order to focus on my studies, and after i found out which one suits better for me, i uninstalled the rest, or i thought so.

For some reason, there is this startup program called "Program", which after investigating a little further using the "line command" option i discovered that the path to the program is one of those programs i've tested early.

But since i uninstalled "FreedomBlocker" neither the path exist even if i try to search, nor i can find the program in my programs list. Yet he appears in my startup list and even if i try to disable. How should i procede?

:)

 

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.

 

Cannot make a program to run at startup

I've used a program called Startup Manager to manually create an entry for this program called speedfan



It also appears in the startup tab on Task Manager




But I doesn't work.
The program default behavior is to open minimized as an icon in tray (it works manually)

Any suggestions ?

Anomolous behaviour of startup programs


Thank you for your reply. Your suggestion regarding the setting up of a new user caused me to think more about the system folder structures, and I remembered moving shortcuts from the User Programs folder to the All Users Programs folder, and I realised that I had also accidentally also mover the Startup folder from the User Programs folder to the All Users Programs. I therefore no longer had a Startup folder in my User Programs folder, and Windows had changed the registry settings for the user startup programs to the All Users Startup folder. So when Windows started, it ran the programs in the All Users Startup folder twice. And the absence of the User Startup folder was preventing the FastStone Capture and PhraseExpress startup settings from working correctly.

To address this, I have done the following:

• Created a new Startup Folder under the User Programs folder.
• Changed the following registry keys back to their original values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell FoldersStartup C:\Documents and Settings\Your Profile Name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Startup %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Startup %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
These actions have resolved the startup issues.

Thank you again for your help.
