Settings/Apps/Startup

Hi Not Myself

New issue .... started when ?

Just asking in the event this is one of those 1809 discoveries.

No idea; just found it yesterday in trying to find out why one program was running two instances after rebooting. Not even certain when I first noticed that oddity, perhaps a few weeks ago.

1809 not yet installed.

Found this.

Have a read and see if you can follow the folder discussion. I don't have this condition.

Double entries in start menu

I read that, and did a quick look at the folder for the program that led me to the Settings area in Windows 10, where I found only one shortcut to the program. (Turned out that the problem was caused not by the two Startup entries for that program, but by a corrupt .ini file for it.) Thus, I'm not sure that the information will help me.

I don't have time to check the other multiple-entry folders now, as I need to get back to the preparations for a complex Szechuan recipe I am going to cook for tonight's dinner, but will have a longer look, perhaps tomorrow.

Is this thread's issue about Start or Startup? Your link is about multiple program in Start menu.

If the problem is about startup programs, check Task manager, and select Startup (set view columns startup type and command) and post a picture of it. Would make finding a problem much easier.

Another good program to work with is Autoruns.

As stated in my original message, this is about Settings/Apps/Startup; however, the duplicates also appear in Task Manager. I don't know what you mean by "set view...," as I don't find any such entry; please provide instructions, and I will proceed from there.

Not bad: It is only 6Oct2018, and I have already learned something this year, as shown in the attached screenshot from the Task Manager; this is the first entry there on more than one instance of a given program.
