    UAC prevents programs that require admin permissions from auto-starting in a
    standard account. If you click Show For All Users in Defender and escalate
    your privileges, the those disabled buttons will be enabled. Also, which
    you're in Defender you can click its Help button and search the help for
    "block startup programs" for more info.

    Windows defender - startup blocking some

    It tells me it has stopped the start up of certain progs - many of which I
    WANT to run, some I want to remove - only the "remove" and all other buttons
    are greyed out.
    How can I get out of this ? Whats causing it ?

    I tried to follow your instructions, and couldn't find any "show for all
    users" in defender.
