    Error when starting windows, the file explorer automatically opening junk files and folders


    Hi I'm Huy I'm having some problems with my Windows 11, I don't know it's a bug or a virus but it kept showing up causing my computer to crash quite a few times. One thing it has in common is that it has a file address of Appdata\Local\Temp and depending on the junk file in there it will appear on the screen. It never stops! It makes me feel very frustrated, hope everyone can help me solve this problem

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. RealTemp log file location when RealTemp started as scheduled task

    When I start RealTemp manually, the RealTemp log file location seems to default to the folder in which the application is started.

    When I started via a scheduled task, to start automatically when my laptop resumes from sleep, no log file appeared to be created.

    The support team provided the answer, which is as follows:-

    The problem is that when you use the Task Scheduler to start up RealTemp, when RealTemp asks Windows for the RealTemp folder location, Windows replies with a sub folder in C:\Windows. Same Windows function but it gives different answers depending on how RealTemp is started.

    If you open up C:\Windows in File Explorer and do a search for RealTempLog.* ; you will find the log file in a subfolder, in my case C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The actual folder may vary with your version of Windows.

  4. Error when starting windows, the file explorer automatically opening junk files and folders

    File Explorer and K drive (DVD-RW) opens automatically on start up

    Hi Andrew,

    Are you getting any error messages? I would suggest checking the Startup folder to see if File Explorer is added.

    Follow these steps:

    • Press Windows + R on the keyboard.
    • In the Run command type "%userprofile%" without quotes.
    • Navigate to the following location:

      AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    • Right click and delete any entry here.
    • Uncheck Hidden Items once done.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
