Windows 10 Startup folder

As we know, the Startup folder contains all shortcuts to programs that will run automatically when you start up Windows.
In Windows 10, this has changed slightly which you cannot find the Startup folder from the start menu, you have 2 ways to do the same:

Method 1  

- find the Startup folder and put your shortcuts and batch file in below:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Method 2 

- run from shell command:
hold down the Windows key, and type R
you will see below screen, then type shell:startup
click OK


 

then you will be going to exact same folder patch like methos 1 above

The above is showing the personal startup folder, this is per profile basis (i.e. per user login). If  you are administrator and wants to run the program for ALL USERS when windows startup. Again similar ways to do:

Method 1  
- find the Startup folder and put your shortcuts and batch file in below:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Method 2 

- run from shell command:
hold down the Windows key, and type R
you will see below screen, then type shell:common startup
click OK
