What is the "Genuine" and "Program" process in windows 10 startup?

Question

I went to check what if I had anything fishy in the startup of windows 10 and I saw this:

I disabled them since I don't know what they are, is it anyhting I should be worried about?

Solution

A bit late, but I found myself in the same position and I think I have found the reason of Genuine. Do you have any Autodesk program installed on that machine? I think that may be the reason for you as well. It should be a service checking the authenticity of your product.

A link from autodesk forums mentioning the service:

That’s not a lot of info to go off of. Maybe use SysInternals Autoruns tool to get more info? docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Agreed. With this little information, we can't do much.

It’s something you have started. Can you tell us which executable is being ran? Use Autoruns to determine that information

Most people using Windows 10 would use the Startup Tab of Task Manager to see your screen shot. Nothing called "genuine" in any of my machines. Do a full scan with Windows Defender.
