    Task Manager Startup Items missing

    Download WhatInStartup by NirSoft. It's a very small app that should show exactly each item in your Startup tab)

    WhatInStartup - Disable/delete programs at Windows startup
    (scroll down for the download link)

    Does it show anything in there?

    (On my computer, WhatInStartup shows each application that is listed in the Task Manager Startup tab).

    Oh, that's interesting! I never in a billion times ten years guessed it meant that!

    This is what I see in my TM startup list:

    Task Manager Startup Items missing

    I just tested this on Windows 10 version 1903 and it still applies. If you delete either your Startup folder or the All Users startup folder, then all items disappear from Task Manager Startup tab (even if all items normally there are from the registry).

    As soon as you recreate even an empty user startup folder or empty all users startup folder (both must be present), then all items reappear on the Task Manager Startup tab.

    I was helped by a Windows 8 answer from six years ago:
