What do you mean? You added specifically a startup entry for compiz?

Please show the process list in this case, I cannot see what’s happening
with the previous one.

What’s in .config/autostart/ after you uncheck compiz? Please send the
relevant file if it’s still here. Does it change anything if you remove
this file?

Yes this is normal, no they are not useless, some people use them to
fine tune the startup.
