Hello,
With Windows 10 (1709)
Every time I start up, after a brief moment, the explorer displays C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64, which contains a very large number of folders and files, as well as .dll files.
I can close this display without any problem, but how do I prevent it from showing up on startup?
I am an administrator.
Best regards

Configuration: WORKGROUP
Windows 10 Home version 1709
Operating system version 16299.192
Processor Intel Core I5-6300HQ CPU 2.3GHz
Ram 8 GB
System 64 Bits x64 Processor

    Hello,

    To see what is running at startup:

    Follow the FRST tutorial. ( take the time to read carefully - everything is well explained ).

    Download and run the FRST scan,
    Wait for the scan to finish, a message will indicate that the analysis is complete.

    Three FRST reports will be generated:
    • FRST.txt
    • Shortcut.txt
    • Additional.txt


    Send these 3 reports to the website https://pjjoint.malekal.com/ to share them.
    In return, provide the 3 pjjoint links that lead to the reports here in a new reply so that we can consult them.

      Hello, before making these reports, maybe a hint!
      I use GData Internet Security 2018. I don't think it's coming from the antivirus.
      However, I had installed a software called BatteryCare (downloaded in Zip), which in the scan (GData) that I ran, was detected as "unwanted," so I quarantined it. But the .exe program itself was not detected and is still present. I want to delete it, but it is invisible everywhere, in the list of programs, as well as in my uninstallation program Iobit Uninstaller.
      It was set to start with Windows; I disabled it at startup. It seems after a restart that the infamous display does not appear anymore, but since it's on the same day, it needs to be confirmed.
      It appears in the GData "autostart manager," I set it to delayed by 5 minutes. Curious indeed, despite the startup setting with Windows being off, it is still in the list of delayed programs in the autostart manager.
      Best regards.

        Just delete the ZIP.
        For the rest, do FRST.
