I found that too, the chinese symbols are different and why does it appear as an Autostart exe file?

I put it through Google translate lens and it showed as PTENT which doesn’t show anything with a Google search. If you type the name into file explorer, start menu search, everywhere (if you can, you probably need to copy and paste somehow), see if it shows anything.

To copy and paste the text use this: How to Copy Task Manager Details to Notepad.

And just extract the piece of text from the notepad document.

My inclination would be to uninstall with an uninstaller that shows registry entries from it, if any. Then see if it comes back after next boot.

Since I have turned it off in the autostart section it does not show up any more.

Instead there is a no name file. Can you recommend an uninstaller which shows registry entries?

A couple of places for you to check:
Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Path:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

As far as Uninstaller, BCUninstaller will give you the .reg.
