Any way to track the malformed apps at startup?
No ideal for the first two apps on the list. Do they belong to Microsoft service or third-party? very confused for this!
- If you have specific apps in mind that you find confusing:
Google Search: Simply search for the names of the applications along with “Windows” or “service” to see if they are recognized as genuine Microsoft processes or third-party applications.
Microsoft: Official Microsoft documentation often contains lists of core processes and applications that belong to Windows services.
Typically, Microsoft services or applications will show their publisher as "Microsoft Corporation.” Other Microsoft-related background services may have names like Windows Update, Windows Security, etc.
