What is the Program "program" showing up in Windows 10 Task Manager Startup tab?

Question

I have a program on the startup tab named "program". When I right click on it to see its location; I saw 'open file location' and 'properties' are grayed. Can anyone have any idea what is this? What should I do with it? Please reply.

Hi BINOYGHOSH

In Autoruns, click the Logon Tab, is that 'Program' entry there?

Answer 2

Hi BINOYGHOSH , this is a known bug in Windows 10, that is left over from some application that was previously installed,

Click the link below to download a small free utility that does not require installation

When the file downloads, unzip it.

Depending on your system, run Autoruns or Autoruns64 as Administrator

In the resulting list you will find that 'Program' entry, right click that and remove it from there . . .

Hi, I did not find "program" entry from there. There is large no of registry entries in that application. Can you told where to find it, I mean in what section? I got this type of interface.

Hi DaveM121

Thanks for helping me. Finally, I got the entry of "program". It is due to this missing file 'BlueStacks Agent'.

Located on C:/Program Files/BlueStacks/....          I delete it from there. Now everything is good.

So, thank you very much.
