View Windows Self-Startup Information with Command Prompt

To view the self-starting information of the Windows system, we usually use the "system configuration utility" to enter the "msconfig.exe" command in the "Run" dialog box to view, or use some third-party system software. Come check it out. Sometimes our system may not be able to run the System Configuration Utility due to virus damage. At this time, we can also view the Windows self-starting information through the "command prompt", the specific method is as follows:

1. Through the "Start" → "Programs" → "Accessories" → "Command Prompt" command , enter the command prompt operation window.

2. In the command prompt operation window, enter the command "wmic startup get caption, command" (without double quotes). After inputting, the command prompt operation window will list the program information that the machine starts automatically with Windows. The "Caption" column in the window is the name of the self-starting project, and the "Command" column is the specific path of the self-starting program.

If we need to output Windows self-starting information to a text file for us to view or print, we can also use the "wmic /output:d:Startup.txt startup get caption,command" command ( Does not contain double quotes). After inputting, a text file named “startup.txt” will appear in the D drive. You can also view the program information that is started by the machine with Windows. The "d:startup.txt" in this command is the path and name of the output text file, which can be modified as needed.
