Good day!
Can't find a way to disable startup of OpenVPN for new user account on windows 10.
I know, i can log in, go to settings and uncheck "Launch on Windows startup", but i want it for all users, that haven't yet logged in and created local profile.
Already checked these places, but haven't find OpenVPN there:

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Need help!
Thanks in advance.

If somebody still needs a solution.

put this into the user's logon script:

reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v OPENVPN-GUI /f
