Item in 'Startup' 'Windows Services' tab does not exist on computer or registry.


Recommended Posts

I recently managed to uninstall some Adobe products which didn't prove easy.

Now when I run CCleaner and go to 'Tools' > 'Startup', in the 'Windows Services' tab I have the entry 'AdobeUpdateService'. This does not exist on the computer and when I search regedit there is no registry entry for it. How is it still in this list and how would I remove it? Thanks in advance.

It might instead be in Task Scheduler, some things that start at system boot can alternatively start from it.

Edit:
Then again it's possible to have null dead entries remain when for example uninstalling a program.

Thanks! I found some old Adobe entries in the CareCenter folder within Task Scheduler and deleted them, it seems to have got rid of it.
