Requesting SysInternals AutoRuns ARN File

These instructions can be pasted into a post to request a SysInternals AutoRuns ARN file from an OP

The SysInternals AutoRuns file found in the BSOD OP-attached jcgriff2/Sysnative BSOD Dump + File Collection app output zip file is the TEXT File version and is rather difficult to read, in my opinion. Therefore, you may want to request the AutoRuns ARN (default file extension) version from the OP.

This will allow you to view the AutoRuns ARN file directly in your local system's AutoRuns viewer. You will need to have AutoRuns on your system.

You should, as Windows and BSOD professionals, have the entire SysInternals Suite on your system. I suggest that you download and extract the 70+ stand-alone EXEs, which all SysInternals modules are, i.e., they do not need to be installed.

Sysinternals Suite - Windows Sysinternals

We used to get the AutoRuns ARN file output in the jcgriff2/Sysnative ZIP file, but something with AutoRuns went south and it was taking over 5 minutes for the AutoRuns ARN file to be written, so we switched over to text output. Since then, I have never used the AutoRuns text output ever again.

I now ask OPs for the AutoRuns ARN file when needed.
