Windows Sysinternals Autoruns Tool: Can I get Autoruns to display ALL the registry entries that affect enabled/disabled?
Is there a way to get the Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to list ALL the registry keys and values that affect whether Windows actually launches a Startup app that is in the registry?
I am trying to diagnose why NONE - not even one - Startup app in the registry is actually launched when I login, even though Autoruns and the Task Manager (and other tools) show them as Enabled. This affects only MY User Account, but not any other.
These tools list just HKCU...\Run and HKLM...\Run and a checkbox, but there are more entries in the registry, including:
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\AutorunsDisabled
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run32
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveAutoRun
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun
- \HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- others???
I looked at all of these in the Registry Editor, and everything looks good to me, but the apps are still not launched. There has to me something, perhaps just ONE registry entry, that prevents Windows from launching ANY Startup app.
I was hoping that there was a way to get Autoruns to list everything that affects whether Windows actually launches a Startup app at Login.
If anyone would know about all the criteria that Windows uses to determine whether to actually start a Startup app, I thought it might be the Windows Sysinternals people.
Thanks,
