What would keep programs at windows bootup from starting.

<< < (3/3)

Shane:
OK found the policy

It is "Do Not Process The Legacy Run List

And it would be stored here in the registry if that policy got enabled on your system.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

And in there would be
DisableLocalMachineRun

Ok I did see one after I was able to remove it I want and told the program and clicked on the option to start with windows and it will not do it. odd. Ok I will have to take a look at what you found out later and report back to you. Thanks for all the help.

I looked at what you found but have to put in what I want to run. Have you ever used the program Autoruns? It shows all that runs when windows starts. yjis is the part where it ahas programs that will run at logon is  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. To get them to show you have to start the program as administrator.  You can get the program here  and check it out.

Thinking there must be something telling windows not to run these programs or something got messed up. After I removed to see if I could and it did but now the program can not put it back.

I ran registry fix from Advanced SystemCare 7 and jv16 PowerTools 2014 and did the updates for patch Tuseday for November and they are loading but back to the other problem I have and have made a post their for that.

Shane:
OK so you dont have DisableLocalMachineRun in the registry correct?

From what I can find those are the only 2 ways to disable the startup items.

As a test, create a new user account, login to that account and add something to the startup in the run key and see if it works for that user.

That would at least help me see if the problem is something with the user account.

Oh and as a test as well, turn off UAC in the control panel.

When I make my programs I found that I had to use the task scheduler to load startup items because I could run them with admin rights, when UAC is on you cant run a program from the run regkey with admin rights.
