The entries are from a game related app that uses AppsFlyer Native PC C++ SDK.

Did you install "Once Human" or a game around the time that the startup entries were created?

The startup entries will be in the registry at HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Inspect the startup entries in Autoruns:

If you are suspicious the first thing is to turn them off. Restart and see if there are any errors.

Start >Power >Restart
