Instead of spending time typing a password, pin, etc. I used netplwiz to remove the password of my windows (10) username and since then the apps that were being launched at startup like Skype, Windows Defender, Onedrive and 3 other stopped from being launched at startup.
The only way that I got to start those apps as before was to create a shortcut for each app in shell:startup
with the "-hidden" "-minimum"
in the target of each shortcut but I would like to get my regedit working again.
I already tried to create a local user, sfc /scannow
, I don't see anything related to this problem in the Event Viewer Logs.
If I put anything here: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
the app shows in 'Task Manager' -> 'Startup' but if I remove the icons from: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
the app/s won't launch.
My Windows just stopped reacting to the Startup entries from Regedit.
2"Remove the password from Windows Startup": What does this mean. Please clarify what changes you made to your account? Was there a reason you remove the password? – music2myear – 2018-04-09T15:26:25.757
Also, each question should have its own post. Right now it appears you have added a second question in the last paragraph. If this is the same question, please edit this to clarify the relationship. If it is a different question, please post it separately. – music2myear – 2018-04-09T15:27:32.843
music2myear - I've removed the password with the command "netplwiz" for windows to start faster, instead of typing a password, pin, etc. – Mr_Chmod – 2018-04-09T17:24:39.290
Please edit your question to add this and any other requested information. Do not just add information in the comments. Putting all the information, including updates, as edits in the original question helps get you good answers because people will not have to read through the comments to find all pertinent information. – music2myear – 2018-04-09T17:30:08.313
