Windows Defender

When I open Windows Defender to remove programs that start automatically upon
the computer startup - I see only greyed out options for files that have
started automatically.

How can I ensure they are not greyed out so I can remove these unwanted
startup programs?

Thanks!

Hello Dave,

Select the 'Show for all users' button at the bottom-left of the Software
Explorer screen. Accept the UAC prompt.
