    There are yellow highlighted items with pathways missing. I think winpatrol messed them up. I know that some of them restarted on reboot. Do I need to do anything to 'fix this'?

    Hi Alicia. The items highlighted in yellow in Autoruns simply indicate that those startup programs don't exist and therefore can be removed safely as they are invalid entries.

    What are they for Evan? There are probably also some startup processes on this PC that I don't need.

    Two of the items in yellow are for the Intel Graphics driver and the other one is for Internet Explorer.

    Anyway in Autoruns you can remove the following items:

    Reatlek HD Audio Manager
    The items highlighted in yellow
    iTunesHelper
    iCloudServices
    OneNote 2010
    Windows Mail (both entries)

    Okay thanks Evan. I was having a very slow startup and I removed Winpatrol from startup and it's much faster now.

    Great. By the way, you don't have any active security software other than Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit so are you planning on adding a free security program to the machine?

    It could be set to load as a service instead so look in the system tray to see if its there when the computer boots up.
