msconfig Startup Item has no NAME or COMMAND

[Sarthak]

While checking the Startup Tab under Sys Config Utility I found a startup item without any name or command. Its actual location is "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. I thought I should remove it from the startup list hence unchecked the box and restarted the system. After reboot I suddenly go a pop with following error message:

Click to select the Don't show this message or launch the System
Configuration Utility when Windows start check box, and then click OK: You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts.

The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts.

Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility.

Is this normal and should I ignore it? Or I have put my system in some critical condition? Please help.

Yes, it is normal and you dont need to worry about the same.

Simply click to select the Don't show this message. Does it appeared for the second time so far?

Hello Sarthak,

If the error appears on every reboot then simply re-enable that item, and navigate the to the location you mentioned above and delete the real reference in the registry. And if you dint received except the first restart, then just forget it. It is a normal pop up. Check mark not show this message again and continue your work.
