can't find "blocked startup programs"


When starting Vista Bus. Ed. I get a notification that Windows has blocked
some startup programs. When inspecting "blocked startup programs" in the
system tray it lists a 3 programs not yet classified but can't find any that
are blocked even when "showing for all users". Anyone have a clue to find
out to stop this notice or why it is showing up? TIA

Well you need to configure Windows Defender to not block the programs at
start-up, because that's who is blocking those programs at system start-up.

Re: can't find "blocked startup programs"

Hello Ray,

If this is the "Windows has blocked some startup programs" message, then this usually happens when you uncheck some startup programs in msconfig. Steps 9 to 12 in Option Two (Method Two) in this tutorial will help show you how to stop getting this message.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Brink,
That set me in the right direction.
It disabled several when installing Vista that I found in MSCONFIG.
