How to find *all* startup programs on Windows 10? [duplicate]

I've checked the "Start-up" tab under Task Manager, the "Services" tab in msconfig, and the startup folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) but there's an app that keeps coming up whenever I boot (Patriot Dashboard) that's not listed in any of those places.

Where can I find the rest of the startup apps?

Solution 2:

You should try Autoruns for Windows.

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and when you start various built-in Windows applications like Internet Explorer, Explorer and media players. These programs and drivers include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. Autoruns reports Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond other autostart utilities.

Just search for Patriot Dashboard on Everything tab and Autoruns will locate it.
