Windows 10: Every single attempted download to my computer is blocked. Immediately deleted so cannot...

So every single time I attempt to download something, it is not just blocked, it is immediately removed from my computer. I cannot simply go into properties and click unblock as there is no file to click on. Every download is treated as if its most clearly a virus. Downloads such as the vortex mod manager, word documents relating to university, gaming applications like Steam and Origin, the list goes on. Every browser, every time. What the hell do I do?

I also cannot start the command prompt window, it immediately shuts itself off. I have no idea what's going on, I'm nowhere even near a luddite but I have never in my life come across anything like this. Ever. It is completely bizarre. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Am I just missing something so clearly obvious? I've disabled my antivirus, disabled defender and firewalls, changed how my computer responds to dodgy files and it has done diddly squat. Any assistance would be most gratefully appreciated.

McAffee Seems to be Blocking Attempts to Download Other Anti-Virus Programs!

I didn't have time to mess with the second one, I made sure McAfee was gone before doing anything.

 

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
