Description of the new feature / enhancement

In windows, apps can configure starting up on login or startup using various methods like task scheduler, registry, special paths, etc

PowerToys can collect data from all possible locations and show me which apps run on startup with the ability to edit these or disable them, add more etc. It is a great power utility that is very much needed.

It could be a complementing feature to Settings -> apps -> Startup

Scenario when this would be used?

this could be very useful to debug slow startups, or force apps to disable auto start when not needed. For example, I have dropbox running on login and it is signed out (and I can't sign in unless I logout from other devices) and the settings aren't exposed to turn it off unless I sign in. I have been searching for ways to change this behavior so I went to PowerToys but it didn't have this.
