Windows 10: Strange File on my Computer

Hello All,


I found this odd file in my C:/Users/[User Account Name] domain.


The file type just says "File" and its 1 KB in size. It was created a few days ago (somehow...) and when I open it with a program like WordPad, I get strange symbols.


Below are photoes of what it looks like:







Is it safe to remove this file?


Thanks!

transfer files between computers on a home network

I don't know why this is so hard to do but I would like to transfer files between a desktop PC running windows 10 pro and a laptop running windows 10 home. I would like to transfer files in both directions. Both computers are on the same home network and are connected wirelessly.

Could some one provide either specific step by step instructions on how to do this (I googled and found a countless list of instructions that don't work)

or a link to a reference.

Thanks,

I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to see the computer sending the desired file in the explorer file manager of the computer receiving the desired file and then under the computer see a list
of shared files and folders.

Again, this seems like such a reasonable way of sharing files and folders. Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this?

Strange Occurance Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

we apologize for the delay in response.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue.

Kindly follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Cleanupimage
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
