A user of my app reports that the app's auto-start option stored in the Windows registry section HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is removed each time a Windows 10 update is executed.
Is this normal because I store it in the "CurrentVersion" section? Should I store this value elsewhere or differently to make my Run entry persistent over Windows 10 updates?
Your expert input would be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
Startup registry value for current user:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
Startup registry value for all users
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
Windows update doesn't delete those registry keys. But windows defender could be. You can check history of windows defender or any other anti virus software of your PC to check that happened.
