You can also go to C:/ProgramData/microsoft/windows/start menu/programs/startup and see what is in the folder there. But it should show in the startup programs in task manager.

No, it shouldn't.
Go to TOOLS on the left, then STARTUP in the next column, then Scheduled Tasks tab across the top:
See if it shows in there. If so, disable it. Also have a look at the Internet Explorer tab - it might be in there. If not, we'll have to go back to the Startup folder through File Explorer as @essenbe mentioned.
@Arcadian,
Do you really use Wise Care? Things like these tend to mess up a computer more than help it. I would even suspect that the Internet Explorer opening upon boot, is a leftover of some "cleaning" it's done. I would disable all the Wise Care/ Wise Turbo items. Then please show us the Windows tab, and then please scroll the bar at the bottom all the way to the right, and let's see the Internet Explorer tab as well. Thanks.
You can delete everything in that startup screen.
I don't see anything crucial in that list that couldn't be turned off. I don't see an AV entry though.
As a matter of testing, I would disable everything in that list, and then reboot. If the MSN window doesn't open, then you know it is one of those entries.
Actually I've used Wise Care Pro for years too with no problem, latterly on Win 7 (which I still use regularly just for writing stories) and before that on XP again with no problem. So perhaps it's Win 10 that's causing the problem ? Anyway disabled WIse Care and found a mention of Bing which might be the answer.... ?
Thanks for your input everyone ! :)
