antoniomartucci95 :
this is interesting. First I didn't know of the existance of this other run section in the registry: Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
what is it used for? I also didn't know about this location: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup . If I may ask why some stuff gets put there and not in the appdata folder?
I didn't check that registry key with wow6432node as I wasn't aware like I already said
The software isn't all that necessary since it's not that good but i have to live with it since I have no means of downloading another tool, i mostly use it to OC.
I had the task already disabled by ages and I didn't think it was the cause since I still get a cmd prompt after each windows boot. Could it be because I edited the name of the exe before I disabled the task?
So let's recap, what should I do in order to stop it? I assume I should delete GIGABYTE OC_GURU.lnk in that folder? Anything else?
The only thing listed in my registry for:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
is my Logitech Quickcam software. Maybe the answer here will help explain what that key is used for.

I actually think it's very unlikely to be one of these registry entries that is starting up the software since the software was not listed in any of those on my test system after I installed it.
So the question is, could be in the startup folder where you didn't look yet?
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
The Start Menu is created from shortcuts in several folders. Each user can have their own menu, then the "all users" is another folder.

I just looked at the regular start menu included with Windows 10 and I don't even see the "Startup" folder listed. Maybe my start menu is broken (once again) or it's just no longer easily accessible. You can manually open the folder using Windows Explorer or the Run program. It's such a terrible start menu. There are excellent replacements for it (such as Open-Shell start menu which I highly recommend) that actually show you the Startup folder.
So yes, if you find the shortcut in that startup folder, delete it and that may fix your problem.
As for the Command Prompt popping up on bootup, that is another issue completely. I'm assuming it pops up and then disappears? This could be malware and for that I would recommend Malwarebytes (which I guess you don't have access to). Or it could be a failed installation of some software. AutoRuns could help figure that out. It's too bad you can't download anything.
