I have problems regarding the startup list on my Task Manager in Windows 10, as seen in the picture below:
You can see the duplicated entries that I marked in red circle. I have tried to find the source of these entries, including searching for them using RegEdit (in the usual startup entries mentioned online) but until now I am still unable to find their location... does anyone know what might be adding these duplicate entries?
Any response for this problem is really appreciated, thx.
After adding the "Command line" column to Task Manager in the Startups tab, by right-click on the header it was found that the command-lines are different for these "duplicates".
It's quite normal in Windows for the same processes to support different modes of execution that are dictated by command-line options.
For example, the Task Scheduler Configuration Tool is actually schtasks.exe, which is a very central task in Windows with lots of functions.
