    Hi, that is just a leftover from a removed executable file. As it is called Program, indicates it was installed in C:\Program Files, Program Files (x86), or C:\ProgramData.

    To remove the entry, first download Autoruns:

    Extract Autoruns64.exe and run it as administrator.

    Select the Logon tab and you should see an entry highlighted in yellow (which indicates it has been deleted) that references a file path with program in it.

    Right click on this entry and Delete it.

    Close Autoruns.

    Close the Task Manager if it is open, then reopen it and the entry should be gone.

    If you have any problem finding the entry, go in the autoruns menu to File -> Save and save the log.arn file, then zip the log and share it via OneDrive or any cloud file sharing service. Post the link to the log file and I'll inspect it for you then provide the fix.

    Yes, that is just a malformed entry in the list. Notice the weird quote marks, that is because it was entered originally without quotes, so the space between "Program" and "Files" broke it. Nothing to worry about, it was originally the link for installing OneNote.

    Click on "Like" if you find my answer useful or click on "Yes" if it answers your question.
