logon tab

The logon tab in Autoruns.exe lists programs and services that start automatically when a user logs into Windows. Users may encounter an 'Error changing item state: Access is denied' message when attempting to disable items on this tab, even when running the tool as an administrator. This issue typically arises from insufficient permissions or system protections. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on troubleshooting this error, including verifying administrator rights, using built-in tools like msconfig or Task Manager, and checking for malware that may lock startup entries. The logon tab is a key part of managing startup behavior in Windows.
