Description

I'm not sure what is triggering this, but for some reason, every time I start Windows, I see two instances of SyncTrayzor launch (the second one usually failing due to a resource lock with the first one).

Based on information from Process Explorer, both of these are using the same image (C:\Program Files\SyncTrayzor\SyncTrayzor.exe), and appear to be triggered by the same autostart location (HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SyncTrayzor).

The first process is recorded as having started at 3:11:43 PM, and the second as having started at 3:11:44 PM.
