The recent update (1709) has changed the behavior about running the applications at startup under this registry key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I added a program under this key and It would automatically run when I sign in to Windows. But after this update, the program runs BEFORE I sign in, i.e. as soon as Windows is booted. How could I to revert to old behavior.

Run and RunOnce registry keys make the programs to run each time user logs in, so probably your program (after update) is registered somewhere else too. check settings/privacy/background apps, you can turn it on or off there. also in task manager/startup, you can change the impact/priority of the program.

  • I've confirmed by sysinternels autoruns.exe, and no other instance exists except under this registry key. – MJ Khan Nov 30 '17 at 06:09

I found the solution...

you can use these steps:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on Accounts.
  3. Click on Sign-in options.
  4. Under "Privacy," turn off the "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart" toggle switch.
