    Task Manager Startup tab does not work


    Recently I did a reinstall of windows 10 and when I go to task manager to disable apps at startup, there was nothing there. I found the Startup folder was missing in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, so I created it, restarted and there was nothing in the tab still. I added some applications that are normally there, and they showed up, but when I restarted it disappeared again. I did it again and now they show up but, I disabled Spotify and enabled MSI Afterburner, and when windows logs in, Spotify starts and MSI Afterburner doesn't. Why are the default applications missing and why does changing the status do nothing? Really appreciate if someone helps.

    :)

    Startup tab in Task Manager empty??


    Hello, I've been on 10 Home since the 29th (Lenovo Flex 2 laptop) and my Task Manager > Startup tab is empty. I have all the programs on my pc that were on it before the upgrade (from 8.1) and I have added a few since then but the startup page just has a greyed out "there are no startup items to display" showing. I just recently installed Chrome and I'm certain that it should be there. Anybody have this??? Comments/ideas please, thanks Mark

    Task Manager Startup tab does not work

    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?
