    Amazon 1button

    1. Bought yesterday laptop.

    2. After finishing it setting I run the windows update.

    3. In a couple of hours, after windows updates were done, an Amazon 1button appeared on the Internet Explorer.

    4. Checked add-ons for IE there is nothing.

    5. I went to Control Panel -> Programs and Features and uninstall the Amazon Assistance. The "Amazon 1button" disappeared from the browser.

    6. When I rebooted the laptop the button was back.

    No matter hw many times I do step #5, each time I reboot laptop the "Amazon 1button" is reinstalled.

    It is not a virus - I run the scan. It appeared right after several hour windows update. When you buy a new laptop and run windows update as I understand it reinstalls the latest version of Win 10 completely.

    Please help, Should I delete all traces of Amazon from the registry?

    The MiniTool register from disk worked for me

    This worked for me. The MiniTool instructions. Background: at first when I went into powershell (admin not needed to list them) and type: Code:
    In the resulting list of 29 items, Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI was NOT listed. It was totally missing. So none of the more common "re-register" steps would work because they require Get-AppxPackage to see it and on my system it couldn't. But the MiniTool approach gets at it from the file location on disk: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy This WAS there on my system. So, opening powershell admin (right click start menu) and running MiniTool's suggestion, namely, Code:
    fixed it. It essentially reinstalled it. Then it appeared in the list returned from Get-AppxPackage and the "Open Windows Security" button in settings worked.
