System Volume at the toppest level at startup

[curioustechy]

My home pc running win7 is having a strange issue since last two days... Just after the moment i log in, system start up sound is heard at the top volume. When i click the volume icon at the notification area the slider is found at the top level. Even though i mute my volume level and shut off again at startup it is found automatically at the top level. How to troubleshoot this annoying problem ?

check your startup programs or something you installed in last 2 days.something is taking control of windows audio at startup.

I checked up the task manager for running programs at startup and found one program called 'pmbvolumewatcher' and suspecting that by its name i disabled it.....but after restarting the system the same problem is there... i'm posting my startup program list & see if u could trace out something

try this.disable task scheduler service in services list & then restart pc.after restarting if problem remains check by opening task manager & see if taskeng.exe process is present(like in your 2nd pic).

I'm unable to disable task scheduler. Its not active for disabling

 

[whitestar_999]

not that one.i meant the service named "task scheduler"(in your 15.jpg pic).

Just check tasks scheduled in start up. Even CCleaner shows it, from where you can delete them.

[whitestar_999]

did you read my earlier post & tried my suggestion?

IMO, run a full anti-virus checkup.

 

[curioustechy]

thats what i told... there is no provision for me to disable the task scheduler

did you read my earlier post & tried my suggestion?

I'm using microsoft security essentials and it says system is ok

 

[dashing.sujay]

If you can't disable task scheduler, then you can disable the tasks itself. And how much effort does it takes to instal ccleaner ?

Exactly. OP don't have any easier option than installing CCleaner.
