    Actually, I like your suggestion as a first step.

    Unchecking the wrong thing in Autoruns can brick a system.

    Programs not showing in startup tab in task manager

    I recently discovered that the apps I set to run on startup were not open, I had to run them manually. Thought it was a fluke but it happened the next day. I thought, no problem, I'll just open up the task manager startup tab... and then I discovered that
    the programs I want to start are not listed (Steam and Discord)

    Here is a screenshot of my task manager startup tab if you need it. (A lot of programs have been removed from it for some reason)

    Help would be appreciated on how to add these programs back.

    Thank you.
