CreateExplorerShellUnelevatedTask, what is this and why do I suddenly have it in my startup things?
Hi,
I notice with WinRise (which I only use to enable/disable startup programs which don't appear in the Task Manager startup tab) that there is this new thing.
Is there a way to see what program is needing it?
I installed a few new things, some of them I kept them, some I uninstalled them, so I have no idea if this is still needed and why.
It sounds a bit ominous.
Thanks for the help.

CreateExplorerShellUnelevatedTask is typically related to a mechanism that some applications use to run tasks in the Windows environment without requiring elevated privileges (like Administrator permissions). It allows certain processes, particularly those that might need to interact with the Windows Shell (like File Explorer), to launch without needing full administrative rights.
