Hello Fabian,
We are sorry that we are not able to understand the exact issue with the provided information so we suggest you to provide us with more details so that we can understand better and assist you in resolving it.
Thank you. Joyson, AVG Customer Care.
I have the exactly the same problem, the autostart management - separated - of previous version like 16.12.1.43164 was just better and the only reason i used it. The new version even doesnt display all entries, its just crappy…
Dear AVG,
The feature to disable startup programs as described is the only reason I loaded AVG back up and the main reason I subscribe to ultimate. If you do not bring this feature back I will no longer purchase this program. I have been a customer for many years.
Please bring it back quickly!
NOT HAPPY!
One of the main reasons I purchased a subscription to PC-Tuneup was for the ability to stop certain programs from starting at windows Start.
This option to ONLY be able to put them to sleep is obserd.
I can NOT find this mentioned anywhere in AVG's Documentation. Release/patch notes etc. Some of this inconsistencyt may be due to the fact AVG has been purchased and sold manytimesin the last decade and i think evertime the new owners imagine a different direction for AVG which of course annoy's us existing customers off no end.
So I love AVG Products even with this minor setback, but I wont be renewing my subscription for PC-Tuneup (1 Month) until this issue is resolved. I will Keep with AVG Internet Security (even though I only use Firewall and AV) because it seems to work ok. I could still use PC-Tune up's other features, but because i dont NEED them, I will cause my 1 month sub to NOT renew in PROTEST Sorry AVG, you didnt think that one through very well.
Its a good thing AVG offers 1 month subs. I would never have purchased a 12 month anyway, but if I did and this happened I would be seeking a refund (if it were 12 month) because the above problem really sucks.
I dont knwo why ya'll cant just patch it.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I was using AVG system utilities before and now upgraded to tuneup with the full ultimate package. However, I cannot find the option anymore where I can allow and prevent certain programs from autostarting when the system is launched. I am told that my startup is optimized now but clearly there are a lot of processes starting which I don't need and would like to delete from the auto start list. How can I do this please? Thanks very much
Kind regards,
Fab
You are most welcome, Fabian.
Upon checking the screenshot we see that you are using the 2016 version where we have made a change in the Startup and disable startup and background program.
We have combined both Startup and Background program option together and you will have it as one option.
If you click on it, you can see both startup and background program on the same window.
We see that you already have 22 programs put to sleep. If you click on it you can find the programs that are put to sleep in which the one that are related to windows will be the startup program and the others are the background program.

Hi, we are sorry to know that you aren't happy about the new version of AVG PC TuneUp's "disable startup & background program entries".
The new version of PC TuneUp is more advanced than the old version and it includes all the entries of startup and background programs.
May I know how did you confirm that it doesn't show up all the startup entries?
Thanks very much for your efforts and for taking this serious. Windows 10 offers the "starup folder" which inlcudes the normal main programs to start automatically. However, this application is clearly inferior than the good old startup manager you had in the previous version. It really enhaned the "system clean up" experience. I am sure there are a lot of customers who want to see it back as well.
It is my pleasure to help you to develop excellent client solutions for the future. I would be more than happy to document the exerpience with the product as a test customer. Thanks very much.
Kind regards,
Fabian
Hello Fabian,
Please be informed that in the latest version of the AVG PC TuneUp you could find the start up list under All Functions.
Once entered you could find the option to open Background and Startup program.
Thank you.
"All Functions"? Where do I find that? thanks very much
Thank you so much for this detailed description but how can I prevent unneeded programs from starting automatically in the background when I boot my computer.
I have exactly the same problem. The old autostart management - separated - of previous versions were just better and the only reason i used TU. The new version even doesnt display all autostart entries anymore, totally crappy…
