Windows 10: Unknown program in Task Manager-Startup Programs

I am using Windows 10 Home up-to-date. Just found this entry (Program) in my Task Manager-Startup Programs. It has no identification except 'Program' . On right click it doesn't show any properties or location just the enable or disable button. I have disabled it but am just curious as to what I can do to remove this program. Thanks for any info I can get on this.

Hi, it may or may not continue to exist after you have uninstalled another application. It is a ghost left over from a previous uninstall, if you uninstall another application in the future, it may sort out this error in the list, it may not

As long as you have disabled it ,there should be no issue, other than it still appearing in the list of Startup apps, thanks for keeping us posted

Yes I have seen this before on some systems I have worked on, what causes it, I don't know, but I just disabled it and there was no adverse side effects . . . simply select it and click disable.

 

When you click on Enabled, you will probably get the error message.
In that case, the exe is most likely deleted and this is just a leftover.

 

Hi everyone, thanks for your help. I guess maybe I sent rather a confusing image as I was really talking about the startup item called 'Program' outlined in dark blue at the bottom of the image. Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. Would like to get rid of this entry in start up.


Thanks also for the information about Flexera common software manager, it was another program I wanted to get rid of as I believe it was from Paint Shop Pro from Jasc but it doesn't appear anywhere when you try to uninstall it.

 

From task manager, right click on the title and select command line. The path of "Program" is probably set incorrectly in the registry.
To remove from startup. Download: WhatInStartup - Disable/delete programs at Windows startup
Unzip and run, high lite the item then delete the selected item.
