I have the following shortcut in c:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

C:\prog\PuTTY\pageant.exe c:\my\.ssh\some-key.ppk c:\my\.ssh\other-key.ppk

It used to start ok, but in Windows 10 it opens the folder c:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\AutorunsDisabled\ instead (I use sysinternals autoruns to manage startups). When I navigate to the shortcut and click on it, it starts ok.

I had "Run as Administrator" set on this shortcut. Other shortcuts that don't have this option start ok. I'll try without this option.

  • Does any other shortcut in `Startup` folder work? + Don't you [have `AutorunsDisabled` in the `Startup` folder](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/autorunsdisabled-window-pops-up-on-system-start-up/c18792e8-29a2-4fc4-a3d0-c02a16c2af3c)? – Martin Prikryl Oct 23 '19 at 11:41
  • Other shortcuts work. – Vladimir Alexiev Oct 23 '19 at 13:40
  • AutorunsDisabled is created by "sysinternals autoruns" when you disable an autorun and is Hidden... I removed "Run as Administrator" from pageant and I think it now starts (will check on next login) – Vladimir Alexiev Oct 23 '19 at 14:06

Removing "Run as Administrator" from the pageant shortcut fixes the problem.
