The "Documents" directory launches repeatedly upon system restart.
The "Documents" directory launches repeatedly upon system restart.
It seems someone might need guidance to manage this issue. When the PC boots, the documents folder appears and takes over the screen, then reopens itself later. This disrupts gameplay, especially in full-screen mode, as it hides the game and shows the folder. I checked online and attempted a registry adjustment (key not remembered precisely), but it worked on my system. I also scanned for malware using free antivirus tools, though no threats were found.
I usually suggest Autoruns to check every possible startup entry. This makes it simpler to spot anything unusual on your own. It also provides choices to conceal Microsoft-approved files and includes VirusTotal scans to help narrow your search. (This isn't an ad, by the way—I sound like a salesperson.)
I tried the app they recommended, and it works well. I turned off a few hidden programs and others that shouldn’t start automatically, but the issue remains. It’s hard to tell what I should be searching for in the Autoruns list, and nothing seems clear.
