File Explorer Running At Startup - May Be Malware Related

Sep 16, 2015

This one is aggravating. File Explorer keeps loading at startup. The client can't say for certain if the issue was present before or after upgrading from Win7. This wasn't the primary issue- there was malware present on the system. I have run Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes, TDSSKiller, Rogue Killer, and aswMBR scanner. System is returning clean logs now.

I also installed Revo Uninstaller and removed Adobe Acrobat DC and CutePDF, as I've read that Adobe will cause this issue, and since there were 2 PDF viewers install I suspected some conflict.
 
I have tried using regedit, but the two suggestions I found from Microsoft- the reg entries don't exist for win10

Control Panel Running At Startup

Feb 23, 2016

When I had Windows 7, I put a shortcut to Control Panel in the startup folder (I used to need it to start at startup). Now I am on Windows 10 and it still starts at startup. I deleted from the folder (looked up where it was) and checked in task manager if it was set to run at startup but it wasn't there.

Apps :: EXE In Startup Folder Not Running

Oct 29, 2015

I wrote a program that runs on windows 10 just fine from a shortcut on the desktop. I copied the shortcut to the startup folder for my account and did all the compatibility changes so it would run. It worked fine after a few test startups but now all the sudden it no longer works.

Not sure if MS installed any updates between it working and not working, all I know is it ain't working now. It shows up in task manager but really isn't running.

Large Number TCP Connections Running At Startup

Mar 10, 2016

I have a large number of TCP connections open even immediately after a reboot.  It's normally around 200 with only Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Know Brainer, Norton Security and my VoIP phone (X-Lite) along with a few other minor programs and normal Windows 10 background tasks running.  I run Malwarebytes regularly and never find anything wrong and have Norton Security set at maximum levels. I'm attaching a file from TCPviewer that was taken immediately after a reboot as an example.

Internet Explorer Not Running - Windows Updates Will Not Apply

Oct 14, 2015

I had changed the system variables in order to change the default install drive. My C drive is an SSD and I didn't want Adobe hashing up my SSD if it wasn't necessary. Everything seemed to be working well, but windows update will not apply updates and internet explorer (and some other) software will not run. Possibly due to the system variables, but I am unsure what to change or if that is even at fault.

I need to be able to update, and IE has to be used occasionally. (I exclusively use chrome so I hadn't really noticed that IE wasn't working.)

Networking :: File Explorer Network Tab Shows PC (This File Is Empty)

Dec 25, 2015

Under the Network tab of File Explorer, I can see three entries, one of which is my router (with attached Hard Drive) and two computers, each running Windows 10. When I expand the router entry, I can see my hard drive files. I can also see my Users icons when I expand one of the computer's tabs. However, when I click on the other computer's name to search for users, all I see is a message that "This folder is empty". In fact, the folder is not empty, as there are two users on the computer. How I can get this computer to show users, etc.?

Disable Zip File Compressed Folders File Explorer?

Oct 19, 2015

Using Win10 Pro x64. I would like to disable windows showing .zip files in explorer as a folder...When you highlight it the contents inside the .zip are shown in the right pane view. I've scoured the net and found ways for Win7(which I did disable .zip folders on my other Win7 machine) and Vista, perhaps 8 too but I don't want to risk trying a method for older versions of windows. Any solution/reg hack or whatever to disable .zip folder?

File Names In Left Panel Of File Explorer

Aug 8, 2015

I just installed Windows 10. Not sure if I like it, but I'm trying hard.

Problem: When I go to File Explorer, in the left panel, when I click on a folder name, the contents of that folder (both sub-folders and files) show in the right panel.

In the left panel, when I click on ">" beside a folder name, it will expand in the left panel showing the sub-folders, but not "loose files".

I could have sworn that in earlier versions of Windows the files also showed.

Is there a option setting somewhere to change this behavior and to show the files also in the left panel?

No Internet After Malware Removal

Jan 19, 2016

A terrible malware has infected my computer like a cancer. For every time I try to remove this illness, it damages my system, and leaves me no choice but to keep it on my computer in order to use it!

Basically what's happening with my computer is I will run a scan with malwarebytes and remove the malware on my system. Once I reboot my computer, my internet is gone, kind of. I am able to send PMs over skype and over steam. However, I can't talk in skype groups, and the steam home page doesn't load. Furthermore, I can't access the internet with any web browser.

A troubleshoot tells me that my winsock files are missing or corrupted, but it can't repair them, and when I reset these files use the CMD command 'netsh winsock reset' in an elevated command prompt, it tells me there are no issues, and the winsock registry entries are there (Though I don't know if they're damaged or not). I don't know for sure what the malware is but I think it said something about being a DNS hijacker? Could these strange internet problems be related to my DNS settings and not a winsock issue?

Editing A File Causes Freeze File Explorer

Dec 7, 2015

When I edit a .mkv file (rename, delete or copy/move) on one of my partitions, file explorer freezes and I need to restart it with taskmanager.

I haven't encountered any other files that cause the same freeze as this one (yet..).

I already searched on google and tried editing from a webbrowser and the drive is defragmented automatically, so I don't know what to do.

Constantly Getting BSOD IRQL Related

Jan 24, 2016

Below is a Dropbox link to the minidumps from today. I use this machine to run my plex server and marketing software. I keep getting BSOD and cant seem to isolate the problem. A few of them seem to be related to Kaspersky.

I run high bandwidth intense programs with a bunch of threads (5,000+).

They system has 2 xenon e5506 with 32gb ram, CPU usage can sometimes hit the 100% mark for a few minutes but typical is stable around 60%. I recently downloaded and updated all drives/bios. I'm not sure if its too much processing at once that is causing the crashes, or if its a driver issues. Error I always get is IRQL related.

No Internet Access After Malware Removal

Nov 24, 2015

A few days ago, after a poor string of decisions, I contracted the esurf.biz broswer hijacker virus, along with possible others. I then proceeded to start cleaning my computer, first with ESET NOD32, then AdwCleaner, then Junkware Removal Tool, then Malwarebytes, and finally HitmanPro, along with deleting the malicious browser shortcuts. This was all done according to the MalwareTips removal guide for this virus.
 
After completing this and restarting my computer, I discovered that my internet connection was not working. The network drivers and the network and sharing center both detect a connection, but no internet browsers nor any other programs that use internet are working. Although for some reason I am still getting steam popups about friends' game activity. At this point I have scanned the computer multiple times more with different softwares and nothing more has come up. Proxy servers are not enabled in any of the browsers, or in the LAN settings. I have also reset winsock. I have run several Farbar Service scans (most recent included below), but all that shows up is "other errors" for Yahoo.com. Previously, it turned up an error for windows update, but I resolved it

BSOD :: Bad Pool Caller Possibly Related To WiFi Adapter

Sep 2, 2015

I've had some issues with a BSOD for over a year now, first when I was running Windows 8 and now still with Windows 10. It first appeared after I got a USB wi-fi adapter which I replaced with an adapter that connected to the motherboard, but the BSODs have not stopped.

I inquired about it a few months ago on several other forums. It was apparently related to some driver that the USB adapter installed (the name of which I can no longer remember), but I was unable to uninstall it or delete it without my wi-fi becoming unusable. I'm also unable to use a wired connection in my apartment, though I'm not sure that would even be possible if I deleted the driver. The error code I get is "bad_pool_caller", but I believe I used to get "irql_not_less_or_equal" as well.

For some background, the BSOD usually appears when I'm doing something intensive over the internet like watching video on YouTube or Twitch, streaming audio, etc.

Here's my debug folder: COLIN-PC-Wed_09_02_2015_214036_86.zip

Windows Cannot Access Local Disk (C) And Can't Open Programs Related To It

Feb 26, 2016

I was tinkering with the security settings of Local Disk (C: ) so that I get full access to it so as to delete unwanted files. I tried but accidentally now the local disk doesn't have an owner. So I can't access Administrator (cmd). When I try and access those settings to define an owner, it shows 'Access is denied.'. I tried working in safe mode but safe mode won't open. I tried resetting windows 10 both ways (keeping and deleting all files) but it says 'resetting failed.'. I cannot access Local disk (C: ) and cannot opens programs related to it like notepad, task manager, etc.

Unable To Run Batch File At Startup

I am trying to run a batch file with these contents:

Code:
ECHO OFFTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /internalTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /external

I've tried putting a shortcut to it in the startup folder, putting the bat itself in the startup folder, and running it as a task using task scheduler. I also have UAC completely disabled. It runs fine when I run it myself, but it won't run at startup. How can I get to run when I start the computer?
