Receipt of the email pop-up started after upgrading to Windows 11
Since I switched to Windows 11 and upgraded my PC, this pop-up appears each time I power on or wake from sleep. Clicking "No" just hides the visual, but it stays until you right-click and choose close. It’s only visible during startup or after a long sleep, which is annoying. I’m wondering if adjusting the Settings app settings could resolve it. The icon shows "FilePicker UI Host" when I hover over it. Thanks for any advice.

Navigate to your Startup settings and disable GMail, mail, or any other app you don’t recognize. Mostly Windows Defender and software provided by your GPU manufacturer should be safe. The only risk is a slight delay when launching an app, but it will also speed up your system by reducing background processes.

If you encounter anything unclear, perform a quick Google search—most results will be recognizable names, while the remaining 10% are likely from the parent company related to any installed or downloaded software. There may be a few that aren’t immediately identifiable. Simply append "xxx" to the end of each directory name. If an application displays a message like “file unavailable,” investigate where the file should be and remove the ".old" extension from the name; this helps with easier identification.
in File Explorer, you'll find these three folders: Program Files, Program Files (x86) and ProgramData. If installed there, remnants of them appear in one or more of these locations.TheSparklyDuck
