    how to get rid of these redundant icons


    Just now installed Update (KB3176936) for Windows 10 x64-Based Systems......Upon restart my Google Drive Desktop Icon has turned into a white rectangle ( I can go to the icon properties and assign a generic one from Windows ) but I want to try to fix it. What annoys me even more is the fact that on my lock screen at Windows Startup I have two new user icons for switching users. I am the only user but the new icons have my name on both......see example below. Can someone tell me how to get rid of these redundant icons? Red arrow shows what I am talking about...

  3. how do i get rid of these?

    i tried both the SFC a few times and DISM a few times and neither found any "integrity violations"

    the computer is running slow and the red sign with the little x on it is intermittently on the sound and networking icons on the taskbar (wifi & audio work most of time )

    I connected to IT assistants through Microsoft windows 10 online (they controlled my cursor and checked things like drivers etc.) and it was to no avail how to get rid of these redundant icons :( the red signs went away, I thanked them for their assistance, and lo & behold, they come back after
    I disconnect from them.

    I went to win10 from win7 and have 2gb ram (would've changed to 4gb if the stick actually worked) I upgraded from a single core AMD to dual core. my cpu is 35watt instead of 25 watt.

    I'm pulling straws here. Maybe I have a corruption or virus? I don't want to reset unless I really have to as I have so many apps downloaded.

    ATTN: new update! I asked Microsoft answer tech and he said the computer is fine and just wait for November win10 update since it will solve common bugs
