Can't Delete Exe From Desktop - Locks Up Immediately
Mar 31, 2016
I have an icon on my desktop {HuniePop_v1.2.0_setup} that I cannot delete. Any time I select it {whether in File Explorer or on the actual desktop} it locks up the Windows Explorer process. More often than not, the process will go into 'not responding' and self-restart, but on occasion I'll have to hard-reset due to my inability to run anything from CMD to the Run window.
I've tried just about everything I can think of to remove this. I've tried the traditional ways {right click, delete}, I've tried system restore, I've tried safe-mode, I've got nothing left.
Any way before I completely reformat?

My desktop, which is set to never go to sleep (I use it as a Media Server), is locking up after it is idle for several hours. When I go to wake it up, the monitors, nothing happens. Caps Lock and Num Lock lights do not turn on or off. The only way to get it to come back up is to power it down and back up. As far as I can tell all the drivers are up to date. I did install a new program, just before it started, but have since uninstalled the program without any change.
I work in the PC repair field and built this PC myself. It was operating magnificently just a week ago. I do know it did do several Windows Updates before I installed, the subsequently uninstalled, a new program.

How do I delete icons from windows 10 desktop

I will never use OneDrive. I did the following which was supposed to uninstall it (I'm running Window 10 and Classic Windows.):
In the Run prompt:
taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe
then
%SystemRoot%SysWOW64OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
I don't know if this worked. However, I still have the OneDrive on my desktop.
How can I remove OneDrive icon (and the Libraries icon) from my desktop? Dragging it to the Recycle Bin does NOT delete it.
I also would like to stop the automatic re-ordering of my desktop icons every time I start the computer, but perhaps this should be a separate topic.

I came across a very annoying problem. In the rush of multitasking I copied a folder that was being deleted at the time and pasted it onto my Desktop. Now I have an empty folder icon on my desktop with no name and I can't do anything with it.
None of the options in the context menu work, pressing Delete doesn't work either. When I list contents of my desktop in CMD using DIR command it doesn't display any directories either, as if the folder wasn't there at all.

When i press Shift+Delete to delete any file, it doesn´t do anything except maybe 10 beeps, its the sound it makes for example when asking for something or some pop-up windows like that. Also when I try this, like at this moment, when writing this in Chrome (which is pretty hard, because of the following things), it does weird things like typing random numbers, deleting the text, skipping the like if I pressed the arrows or enter button, also it was going back in browsing, all by itself. It happens more after when I press Backspace or Delete.
I don´t know what is happening, can´t believe this is a Windows function i don´t know about or if I should be worried about my keyboard or maybe even a virus. (I am not using any downloaded antivirus).

I'm getting a blue screen advising "ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY" a couple of seconds after my computer wakes from sleep mode. It's not sporadic as it happens every time.
I've downloaded the log collector and attached the ZIP file to this post. First time poster so I hope I've done it correctly!

All my apps open momentarily and then close. The only exception seems to be the browsers. I can go through file explorer and open the files that way, but not by clicking on the desktop app boxes.

I have 2 windows 10 Laptops. Both upgraded from Win 7 Pro. The first one I did from a CD, (Had to buy a copy of win 10)
The thing rocked for a few days with Win10 and everything was great. Very fast and after some figuring out where everything went, it was fine. UNTIL, an update got applied to either Chrome or Win10 and now Chrome Crashes immediately on opening. Even when trying to uninstall it. Have to go to safe mode to uninstall it. Tried Canary and still same result, Crash, Just chrome nothing else and no BSOD. All the other browsers work just fine, but I've kind of become attached to Chrome. BTW the second laptop I just upgraded the other night is still working just fine.

About 20% of the time whenever I sign into my laptop since I have it locked using my Microsoft account my laptop decides to just lock up and be stuck trying to sign in. I either have to wait until it goes back to sleep or restart it which gets quite annoying. This isn't exactly a Windows 10 issue since I been having it since windows 8.1

I can't figure out if it is the skype update or another update that has killed my machine. I can't uninstall skype in safe mode. PC locks after initial boot and ctrl-alt-del doesn't work to get task manager out. Right now it's frozen loading programs to uninstall.

When i click on the Store, it opens, but crashes immediately after half a second. I watched various videos on YouTube looking for "the cure", but none of it worked (like PowerShell, than cmd where I typed "sfc scannow", etc.)

I tried to install Windows 10 fresh from a usb but it said my Windows 7 key didn't work and I never got a Windows 10 key so I'm not sure what to do, the upgrade install won't login. I enter password, then proceed but it locks up. if I click anywhere after a minute the screen goes black ave nothing happens.

or b: how to fix this login screen
I tried safe mode repair but it said it's unable to repair and I should restart the pc.

When I scale to 175 % in windows 10 I have several issues.
1 ) Constantly locks up.
2) It takes about 3 minutes for my network drives to connect.
3) I cant access certain items from the control panel.
If I scale it back to 150 it seems to work fine but I often remote desktop into the computer so I cant change the scaling when using RDP.

I've been getting a lot of BSOD errors recently but always within a minute or so from starting my computer up from sleep. The messages seem random, but one time I noticed graphical glitches before the BSOD so I have a suspicion that it may be related to the graphics card/drivers. If it doesn't crash within the first few minutes, it seems to be fine.

Now Edge is not a browser I intend to use full time but was asked to try Netflix in it to figure out another problem, see my Netflix thread on that one.
Every time I go to open edge I get the blue window to come up and then everything for it closes down. Looking at task manager while this happens I see it jump from open app to background process to then fully closed, nothing listed in task manager.
Once in a while it stays open long enough that I can see the address bar and other of its UI elements start to render before it vanishes.

I've been having problems with Internet speed variations recently. Today I had a Tech from my ISP here to look at the problem and he discovered that immediately after boot I have over 50 active sessions open on my PC, even before I open a browser window. This machine has Norton Security installed and active and I've recently run Norton Eraser As Well as Malwarebytes and neither of them have found anything significant while scanning.
what could because of these sessions to open?

I've been noticing that my Internet speed has become very erratic and overall greatly reduced recently. This afternoon I had a tech from my ISP, and investigate the problem he found that for some reason my computer is a large number of Active Sessions immediately after I boot up endless gift is worth by the time I open a browser session. The computer is secured by Norton Security and I have recently run Norton Eraser As Well as Malwarebytes. None of these found any problems.
What would be causing the excessive active sessions to be open? I'm talking some more the neighborhood of 50 of them are openly immediately after booting!

I've been working on my wife's computer that has had Win10 for the last several months. Her computer completely refuses to update Windows anymore. The updates will get stuck downloading at 0% even overnight and it uses up so much of the system resources that the computer slows to a crawl, taking ages to respond to any action, if it does at all.
Things I've tried:
1) Clearing out the Software Distribution folder
2) System restore
3) Windows update troubleshooter
4) Completely reinstalling Win10 via the Reset option in the Recovery menu (choosing to delete all files and programs)
The computer still locks up when trying to download any Win10 updates. The computer is a reasonably new desktop with 16GB of RAM and an AMD 8-core processor (I can get the more specific specs off of it if necessary).
