在Windows 11/10 任务管理器(Task Manager)中,您可以启用或禁用“(enable or disable items)启动(Startup)”选项卡中列出的项目,但没有提供删除过时条目的选项。随着 PC 的持续使用,当您卸载不再使用的程序时,旧条目可能会累积在“启动”选项卡中。(Startup)在这篇文章中,我们将向您展示如何使用注册表(Registry)或自动运行(AutoRuns)从Windows 11/10任务管理器的(Task Manager)启动(Startup)选项卡中删除无效条目或死启动(Startup)程序。

(Remove)从任务管理器中(Task Manager)删除死启动(Startup)程序
正如您在上面的导入图像中看到的,当您右键单击无效条目(在本例中为OneDrive)时, 如果指定位置中不存在可执行文件,则打开文件位置选项将灰显。(Open file location)
我们可以通过注册表或使用Autoruns等专用程序删除(Autoruns)Windows 10中的无效启动条目。我们将在本节下面概述的方法下探索这个主题。
注意(Note):下面描述的方法是仅从Startup中删除经典桌面 (win32) 应用程序。无法使用注册表或Autoruns删除现代通用 Web 应用程序或应用商店应用程序启动条目。经典桌面应用程序在启动类型(Startup type)列中列为注册表(Registry)或文件夹(Folder)- 这意味着该条目来自启动文件夹(Startup folder)或注册表中的运行键之一。(Run)
对于商店(Store)应用程序(例如,图像上显示的Skype和Cortana),启动类型(Startup Type)列将为空白 - 这表示启动条目源自编译时包含的清单文件。删除应用商店(Store)应用启动项的唯一方法是卸载软件。
1]使用自动运行
要使用Autoruns从Windows 10中(Windows 10)任务管理器的(Task Manager)启动(Startup)选项卡中删除无效条目,请执行以下操作:
注意(Note):自动运行不会显示在任务管理器(Task Manager)的启动(Startup)选项卡中禁用的条目,因为它们存储在不同的注册表位置。要删除已禁用的启动项,您必须首先在任务管理器(Task Manager)中启用该项目。
- 在那里删除(Remove)不需要的启动条目。确保您没有删除 那里的Microsoft条目,尤其是Userinit 条目。
- 完成后,您可以继续删除启动(Startup)文件夹中的无效快捷方式。
要删除启动(Startup)文件夹中的无效快捷方式,请执行以下操作:
- 按Windows key + R调用“运行”对话框。
- 在“运行”(Run)对话框中,复制并粘贴下面的环境变量,然后按 Enter 键(Enter)。
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
接下来,将下面的环境变量复制并粘贴到“运行”(Run)对话框中,然后按 Enter 键(Enter)。
%Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
2]通过注册表

由于这是注册表操作,建议您备份注册表(back up the registry) 或 创建系统还原点 作为必要的预防措施。完成后,您可以执行以下操作:
- 按Windows key + R调用“运行”对话框。
- 在“运行”对话框中,键入regedit并按Enter以打开注册表编辑器(Registry Editor)。
- 导航或跳转到下面的注册表项路径:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- 在该位置,右窗格中的每个值都是程序添加的自动启动条目。
- 右键单击(Right-click)右窗格中不需要的条目,然后选择Delete。
在以下位置对Run键重复相同的过程:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
对于 64 位Windows 10计算机上的 32 位程序,导航到以下位置:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
删除无效条目后,您可以退出注册表编辑器(Registry Editor),然后继续删除Startup文件夹中的无效快捷方式,如上所述。
还有一些不错的免费启动管理器软件(free startup manager software)可以帮助您更好地管理启动项。
就是这样!
Remove dead Startup programs from Task Manager in Windows 11/10
In the Windows 11/10 Task Manager, you сan enable or disable items listed in the Startup tab, but no option is provided to delete the obsolete entries. With the continuous use of the PC, old entries may accumulate in the Startup tab as and when you uninstall programs that you no longer use. In this post, we will show you how to remove invalid entries or dead Startup programs from the Startup tab in Task Manager in Windows 11/10 using Registry or AutoRuns.

Remove dead Startup programs from Task Manager
As you can see on the lead-in image above, when you right-click on the invalid entry (in this case OneDrive), the Open file location option would be grayed out if the executable doesn’t exist in the specified location.
We can remove the invalid startup entries in Windows 10 via the registry or using a specialized program like Autoruns. We’ll explore this topic under the methods outlined below in this section.
Note: The methods described below are to remove only the classic desktop (win32) apps from Startup. The modern Universal Web Apps or Store app startup entries can’t be removed using the registry or Autoruns. The classic desktop apps are listed as Registry or Folder in the Startup type column – this means the entry is originating from the Startup folder or from one of the Run keys in the registry.
For Store apps (e.g., Skype and Cortana shown on the image) the Startup Type column would be blank – this indicates the startup entries originates from the manifest file included at the time of compilation. The only way to remove the Store app startup entry is to uninstall the software.
1] Using Autoruns
To remove invalid entries from Startup tab in Task Manager in Windows 10 using Autoruns, do the following:
Note: Autoruns won’t display entries that are disabled in the Task Manager’s Startup tab because they are stored in a different registry location. To delete a Disabled startup item, you’ll have to first enable the item in Task Manager.
- Remove unwanted startup entries there. Make sure you don’t remove Microsoft entries there, especially the Userinit entry.
- Once done, you can proceed to delete the invalid shortcuts in the Startup folders.
To delete the invalid shortcuts in the Startup folders, do the following:
- Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
- In the Run dialog box, copy and paste the environment variable below and hit Enter.
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- At the location, select and delete all the unwanted shortcuts.
Next, copy and paste the environment variable below into the Run dialog box and hit Enter.
%Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- At the location, select and delete all the unwanted shortcuts.
2] Via Registry

Since this is a registry operation, it is recommended that you back up the registry or create a system restore point as necessary precautionary measures. Once done, you can proceed as follows:
- Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
- In the Run dialog box, type regedit and hit Enter to open Registry Editor.
- Navigate or jump to the registry key path below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- At the location, each value in the right-pane is an auto-start entry added by programs.
- Right-click on an unwanted entry in the right pane, and choose Delete.
Repeat the same process for the Run keys at the following locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
For 32-bit programs on a 64-bit Windows 10 computer, navigate to the following locations:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Once you’re done removing the invalid entries, you can exit the Registry Editor and then proceed to delete the invalid shortcuts in the Startup folders as described above.
There are also several good free startup manager software available that can help you better manage startup items.
That’s it!
