I need help

Answer 1

Hi Almoofficial

Than you for the screenshot, so, all your registry keys and your system variables are set correctly, that leaves one culprit in my mind, DropBox, I believe that is causing the error.

The only way to find out if that is the case, would be to temporarily uninstall DropBox from your system.

Thank you for the screenshot.

Open the Registry Editor, it will still be on the same page

In the right hand pane, right click an empty space and choose New - Expandable String Value

Set its name to this:

{82A5EA35-D9CD-47C5-9629-E15D2F714E6E}

Then double click that new value and set its Value Data to this:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

In the right hand pane, right click an empty space and choose New - Expandable String Value

Set its name to this:

{B97D20BB-F46A-4C97-BA10-5E3608430854}

Then double click that new value and set its Value Data to this:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Close the Registry Editor, then restart (not shut down) your PC

Then, check if the error still occurs.

Hi Almoofficial,

I am Dave, I will help you with this, the location of your Startup folder may be set incorrectly.

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.
