    Hi MinemonGamerPlayz

    This is nothing to worry about, it is a known issue in Windows

    Those are just shortcuts left over from previously uninstalled applications

    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

    With that utility, you can right click and delete any startup item in Windows

    In the list of Startup items, you will see the 'Program' entries, right click those and choose Delete . . .

    Hi there minemon, these two unknown programs could possibly be viruses, and Id suggest immediately right clicking them and disabling them. Next you should run a full Windows Defender scan of your computer to try and find these programs.

    Tried a virus scan, but, it didn't detect any
