What is Autoruns64.exe?

Autoruns64.exe is a legitimate, free utility developed by Microsoft Sysinternals. It shows you every program, driver, and service configured to start automatically during Windows bootup.

Standard File Location

This executable does not come pre-installed with Windows. It is a portable tool, meaning it runs from wherever you choose to extract it. However, the standard locations include:

• Your Downloads folder: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Downloads\
• A custom tools folder: e.g., C:\Tools\ or C:\Sysinternals\

If you find this file in C:\Windows\System32\ and you did not put it there, it could be malware masquerading as the legitimate tool.

How to Fix Autoruns64.exe Errors (Without Downloading Anything)

3. Clear the Startup Folder

• Press Windows Key + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter.
