Solved Missing Startup option in Settings / Apps

Hi

The option to enable/disable startup items using the Apps option in Settings has just disappeared following the latest update. Startup items are shown under Task Manager and can be enable/disabled here but the Startup folder at "C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" is showing as empty. I've run DISM.exe but still have the problem.

Has anyone else had the same problem and found a fix?

Thanks

John

Hello JLYork,

This happens when the registry keys below get deleted.


If you like, you can download and merge the REG file below to restore the above.

Many thanks for the link. I've read the very useful thread and have just merged the registry file supplied by Brink and everything is back to normal! Many thanks for the help.

Great news. Glad we could help.

Many thanks Brink, the file worked perfectly! Wonder what other keys have disappeared from \Policies\System? Thanks again!

Usually, the rest are for some configured group policies.

That's fine, I've got Windows Home so not an issue. Thanks
