Sysinternals updates

Just tried it, got the exact same result so it must be a bug which will be addressed soon.

 

Interestingly, no such problem here with 13.99 on 21364 (and 21359). I normally just use autoruns.exe but also tried autoruns64.exe.

 

Microsoft Autoruns is crashing when listing Windows 10 startups

Autoruns v 13.99:
a) Same here for autoruns64.exe, it crashes.
b) autoruns.exe checked, it works.

 

Ditto. Re: Autorruns v 13.99. Autoruns64.exe crashes but Autoruns.exe runs OK.

 

Ditto, same as everyone else ~ autoruns64.exe crashes. Reverted to v13.98.

 

New version of Autoruns (v13.100):

no issues here either.

 

Thanks for the update.

Anyone knows what is the use for the autorunsc64.exe?

Particularly, the sc after the word autoruns what is the difference

 

it's autoruns c, not autorun sc. autoruns cmd.

thanks

 

no problem bud.

 

Version 13.100, hide windows entries option is not applied correctly. Also Autoruns64 results are different from Autoruns results. I'm back to version 13.98, the latest version that works good for me.

 

I have always used Autoruns64.exe only. Does one need to use both? I mean does one find entries the other doesn't or is the non-64 bit version for Windows 32-Bit only?

 

nope, you don't need to run both.

 

I install the 32-bit version only. The 64-bit version has been trouble-prone.

 

install? isn't it stand-alone?

 

There is nothing to install. It's a portable app

 

If your PC is x64, then you just need the Autoruns64.exe, you don't even need the .dll file that comes with it, so you can delete that too to save (a micro amount of) space, lol.

Technically it's portable because all there is to it is a single executable, but it's really not as it saves settings into the registry.

 

seriously??

ohh makes sense

 

I use zipinstall to effectively install such utilities. That way they show up in Programs and Features and software inventory utilities.

(I use autoruns in admin scripts that track what is installed on all the computers of a small business. These scripts feed a repository of inventories that make it possible to see what is installed on each machine, what has changed, and when. Problems with early versions of autoruns64 made it a PITA to no real benefit, so I discontinued using it. The 32-bit version works just fine for my purposes.)
