Didn't find anything suspicious. I have no idea where Task manager gets it from since the string was not present in registry keys containing applications that were disabled from running.

That entry is a leftover from a removed app that was located in one of the Program Files folders, Download Autoruns.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Extract Autoruns64.exe and right click run as administrator. Accept the EULA. When it finishes scanning, select the Logon tab, the entry will be highlighted in yellow. Right click on the entry and delete it.
