Last week I did a new clean install on my Windows 10 machine. When the install was done, I checked the startup list to see which apps in the list can be disabled. I found one app called simply "Program". It had no publisher, no icon, nothing.  I disabled it and scanned the registry to see if it was listed anywhere. I found no entries. A Google search produced very little, other than the fact that it is probably malware. I could not get rid of it. A Defender scan came up clean.
However, this morning it was gone. It just disappeared. Does anyone have any idea of its origins and purpose? How did it get in the computer? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Microsoft stamps all their executables with a file info resource containing copyright info and version and stuff so if it doesn't have it then it probably didn't come from them.
I'd be a little concerned.

No idea, but after reading the witch... I would consider another fresh install (including new download of the media tool). Just in case.

It's not an application, it's a message from your boss. He's not happy with the amount of work you are getting done...

Not Likely! I retired 10 years ago! Ugh! Do you think the old bos never missed me after I retired?

Encountered the same thing a while ago. Concluded it was sloppy "RunOnce" coding as part of an installation / update. No real "proof" though (that I can remember.)

Were you using Autoruns to check the startup list? That usually does a very good job of identifying what executables (or other automatically executed/loaded entities) are...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I was gonna say this same thing. I would be downloading system internals and checking autoruns myself.

I told the ET's someone would notice, but did they listen? Noooo! But it seems they have mind-wiped your computer. I'm probably next?

Did you by any chance download this copy of Windows from a torrent? Pirated copies sometimes come with "extras"

To which you're not going to link, because it was hard work to find, and by god if you'd work for other people for free you'd be homeless.

Yes, I could have done it but didn't think about it. I can somehow say "my bad".
But, to complain about it and don't link it yourself...  (it would have costed you less time to find it and to post it, than to write all that)
What a time waste and a useless sarcasm.

I came back to say thank you, and to point out that perhaps this might make you think about it in future, (even if you decide not to act), so the time wasn't wasted.
Plus, I enjoy complaining.
