    I installed an Android simulation software "Noxplayer" about two months ago, and it turned out that this was malicious and I quickly deleted it with the help of "Safe mode" on Windows.

    However, my Windows security has persisted on telling me that "Potentially unwanted app found." as seen in the screenshot taken below.

    And one of the warnings in detail below.

    I literally saw if these apps was completely deleted and none of it exist as far as I checked both Program Files and regkey.

    And what's weired is that Windows Security on this screan says that No action needed. What the hell is going on??

    So, could you give me your advise to fix the problem?

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Potentially Unwanted Programs

    Haven't tried this myself, since I just ignore the pinned ads and so have never had any of these installed that I'm aware of, though it wouldn't matter in my case since I'd just ignore them.

    How to Get Rid of “Suggested Apps” (like Candy Crush) in Windows 10

    Unlike the previously mentioned option, this doesn't require a registry hack and is simply a setting for suggested apps. However, I don't know whether this incudes those like Xbox, which provides deeper support than games.
