Since a month or so, I have been trying to find a solution but I can't find it. I have tried methods like sfc and DISM scan. I have also deleted and remade the folder for startup apps but nothing helps. Though it is missing from settings, I can still find it in task manager. Is it due to a windows update? If not what should I do so that the setting re appears.

Hopefully, it should bring back the "Startup" option under "Apps".

Additionally, if you'd like to have a thorough checkup for malware, do the following:
