Updated to Win 10 from Win 7. Remnants of Win 7 remain in the Startup?

[sludge7051-x]

I don't know if this is a bug, but I enable all Startups in Win 10, and the first 6 here are disabled after boot up, and they cannot be deleted, even if they're no longer there:

THE FILE FOLDER FOR THESE IS NO LONGER EVEN THERE - Is there a way to delete them?

No . . . HKCU:Run . . . 7 Taskbar Tweaker
"C:\Program Files\7+ Taskbar Tweaker\7+ Taskbar Tweaker.exe" -hidewnd

No . . . HKCU:Run . . . Chromium
"c:\users\porthos1075\appdata\local\chromium\application\chrome.exe" --auto-launch-at-startup --profile-directory="Default" --restore-last-session

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

BUT, THESE ARE STILL ALL THERE, FOLDER AND FILE - Is there a way to get them to "Enable?'

No . . . HKLM:Run . . . APSDaemon . . . Apple Inc.
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\APSDaemon.exe"

No . . . HKLM:Run . . . LWS . . . Logitech Inc.
C:\Program Files\Logitech\LWS\Webcam Software\LWS.exe -hide

No . . . Startup User . . . PowerMenu.lnk . . . Thong Nguyen
C:\PROGRA~1\POWERM~1\POWERM~1.EXE
C:\Program Files\PowerMenu\PowerMenu.exe . . . It's now listed this way, as a second entry, and Enables

No . . . HKLM:Run . . . P17RunE . . . Creative Labs, for my sound card?  I think I need this
RunDll32 P17RunE.dll,RunDLLEntry

How did you do the update to Win 10?

I also have several entries on the Startup "leftover" from upgrade from win7 to Win10. I used the Media Creation Tool. The path from within CCleaner using the right-click open in RegEdit is:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

 

This key is completely empty !?

Newbie, you gave me an idea:

[i didn't think of this] Before you try the following, if you right-click to see a remnant in RegEdit, is there an arrow to the left of that folder, so that if you expand it, you see the remnants beneath that folder?  If not:

On my screen, only "(Default), REG_SZ" appears within these two:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
. . . but, right-click / export these two to Desktop . . .

. . . then, delete these two
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Restart the computer

Look in CCleaner / Tools / Startup . . . the remnants are gone . . . Close CCleaner

On your Desktop, click to restore "startupfolder.reg" and "startupreg.reg"

Look in CCleaner / Tools / Startup . . . the remnants are back

Right-click on one of the remnants to see it in RegEdit . . . It takes you to a folder with nothing in it

Click on the arrow to the left of that folder, to expand it, and see things below . . . the remnants are there

I see that you can't delete the remnants through CCleaner ("The system cannot find the file specified"), but if you right-click delete them in the Registry, close and re-open CCleaner, you can delete them.
