  2. Phantom Window?

    Update 5/27/2017:

    So I was able to download the most recent update (KB4020102) and it seems to have solved the issue.

    The mystery window may have had something to do with the failed cumulative update, as it would explain why it occurred exactly once every hour. After I manually downloaded the update package from the
    Windows Update Catalog, the normal system window saying that I had to restart for an update popped up at the exact time the mystery window would have.

    Maybe the mystery window was the system notification failing?

    In any case, the issue is no longer.

    random pop ups

    ever since getting windows 10 I have had 2 different types of pop ups one being the missing dll and two being a mysterious pop up that ends up closing itself before I see it how can I fix these

    If you moved temp you have to change system variables for it from a CMD prompt type set does it show correctly?

  5. I changed temp folders system settings.....the new temp folder seems to have file sizes in it ok
    do I need CMD line to set it up, I didn't think so
    been working ok for some time...maybe a program I installed could not tolerate the temp file in a different location

    If you have the Setup Builder installer, Uninstall Setup Builder, restart the computer and reinstall it. It will find the correct Temp folder and be good to go

  7. Don't have setup builder.....could this have been part f something I installed....I uninstalled all recent installs, but it still remains.....should I just search the registry for setup builder and delete entries..

    thanks

    Don't search the registry by hand. Use Autoruns to find the startup. If you want us to have a look at it, File->Save it as a default .arn file then zip and attach to next post
