Autoruns (systeminternals) doesn't detect manual inclusion on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I manually added Outlook to run at startup by adding an entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, but Autorun fails to recognized.

It also fails to recognize if I add a shortcut to Outlook to Startup folder at %appdata%

At Task manager, Startup Applications tab, show correctly both

Possible bug, right?

    Hi @fgalfo ,

    Do you get any errors?

    Does it start if you remove the registry entry and leave shortcut to Startup folder?
