Windows 10: Task Manager/Startup Shows Application "Not Measured"

Came across a rather obscure issue this evening on a user's PC. Three of the user's PC programs were listed as "Not Measured" in the Task Manager/Startup tab. Associated with that issue was another issue: those applications should have created icons in the Notification area, which they had not.

As it turns out, the user had changed the application properties in their respective directories to "Run as Administrator." Since Windows does not ordinarily permit startup applications to run as admin, those applications were not loading the GUIs in the Notification area, nor were they "measured" in startup impact.

Changing the applications in the Windows directories to not run as admin, and then restarting the PC, fixed the issue. All applications created their icons and all were now measured.

Hope this helps someone with this rather obscure issue.

Start-up Impact "not measured" in Task Manager

This is an answer to a different question. It does not answer the question of how to measure startup impact so that it shows up in task manager.

 

Task Manager Startup impact not measured


This seems to be a common problem. Task Manager under Start-up tab under Start-up impact shows everything not measured. Everything else fine. Ideas?

 

Start-up Impact "not measured" in Task Manager

All of the applications in the start-up impact list under the task manager come up as "not measured". This is despite several shut downs and or reboots, and the programs are running. Does anyone know how to solve this?
