As I know Windows 10 doesn't have ms-config we can enable or disable a startup application with task manager so if I disable a program then where it stores its information? In Windows 7 we can get the information from 

RegistryKey HKLM2 = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Shared Tools\\MSConfig\\startupreg", true);
foreach (string programs in HKLM2.GetSubKeyNames())
{
    MessageBox.Show(programs);
}

When we disabled an application it delete the key I mean the key under run or run and stores it here so what is the same thing in Windows 10 or Windows 8?

  • [Disable startup program in Window 10](http://www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-startup-programs-windows-10/). For compatibility Window 10 should use same registry entries. What doesn't work? – Sinatr Mar 31 '16 at 09:48

    Check out `HKEY_USERS\[CurrentUserId]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run`, it seems what disabling/enabling startup items changes values there. – Sinatr Mar 31 '16 at 10:09

    use RegFromApp (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/reg_file_from_application.html), select Taskmgr, do the changes and RegFromApp should show you which setting gets modified. – magicandre1981 Mar 31 '16 at 15:52
