Windows 10: Programme opens and closes at random

Hey everyone. Sometimes, mostly at startup and while I'm playing games, a programme with this icon opens and immediately closes. I apologise for the picture's potato quality, but it's all I could capture. I haven't identified any installed programmes with that icon. I thought it might be a Windows process, but I have no idea how to check. Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

"Recent Items" list vs Opening a folder for Recent Items


Hello all... I am not understanding how MS elected removed the list of recent files and replaced it with opening a folder to see the recent files. That is now a 2 step process because you have to close the folder. I used the "recent items" a lot and I miss it - I'm sure others do ass well.
The solutions offered here only are partial, they only add the link to the start menu / jump lists, but those still open an actual folder which then has to be closed. If you open multiple files, then you have to close multiple folders. Odd...
I'm not a programmer - but I'm thinking (hoping!) that someone around here may be knowledgeable enough to find a way to return the actual "Recent Items" list, without opening a folder.
I'm thinking I may not be alone on this one...
Thank you!!

 

Random programmes stop loading

During the course of the day random programmes which have previously loaded fine earlier in the day will stop loading. No particular programme, it varies every time. Makes no difference if loaded from shortcut, under apps or from the toolbar. Only solution
is to reboot.
