    Windows 10 User Startup Folder Missing


    Multiple installations of Windows 10 Professional do not have the "Startup" folder present in the "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder. All of the systems were installed in the same manner with the "Startup" present on some but not all. I have attached a screen shot showing the path.

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 User Startup Folder Missing

    Missing Startup folder

    In your Registry, do you have an entry in the right-hand side of User shell folders called Startup?
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    [the paths to Shell folders and User shell folders are similar but I always work with the User shell folders ones]

    If so,
    1 What path does it currently point to [in its Data column]?
    2 Check that you have re-made the folder at %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup because step 3 will cause problems if the folder is not there.
    3 Only if the folder now exists, double-click on the icon of the Startup entry [at its left-hand end] and paste into its 'Value data' input box %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    By the way, Tairiku's code was merely a method of doing this programatically. The /v thing is just part of the syntax necessary.

    You might find that you need to reboot afterwards to check the effect of this change and, just possibly, you might also find that you need to manually move some of those entries that you said are currently in the ... \Programs folder.

    I have never had to change the entry in the Shell folders [as well as the User shell folders] since it just seems to always follow whatever changes have been made in User shell folders but if the problem persists after a reboot, I don't think it would do any harm to manually change the Shell folders Startup entry yourself i.e. repeat steps 1-3.
