Disabled Startup program does not run after re-enabling it
The reason for this happening is as follows: The following Registry data are saved when startup applications are disabled. When the applications are re-enabled, the registry data are restored as REG_SZ type. When you re-enable a startup application that requires path environmental variables specified with the Registry type REG_EXPAND_SZ, the environmental variables are no longer usable and the application will not be executed because the Registry item is restored as REG_SZ instead of REG_EXPAND_SZ. To resolve this issue, do the following: Change the Registry type to REG_EXPAND_SZ. Read: List of Startup Paths, Folders and Registry Settings in Windows 11/10. Remember to create a system restore point first.
