Removing Entries From the Task Manager Startup Tab

Anonymous

I'm able to disable Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Teams and Windows Terminal in the Task Bar Startup tab but I haven't found a way to remove them.

I've checked both 'Run' keys in the registry but they aren't there.

Is there a way to remove these entries??

    Autorun didn't work. But turning off Edge's in Settings, System and performance, Startup Boost

    the Microsoft Edge entry was removed form the Task Manager Startup tab.

    I removed Microsoft Teams by uninstalling it.

    The program won't allow me to delete Terminal (cmd.exe)

    Edge keeps getting put back in.

    It's not that terrible. I sort them by the Enable/Disabled column.
