Windows 10: Receive "How do you want to open this file" on startup

I have started receiving the message and pop-up "How do you want to open this file?" every time I start my computer. I have no idea what file might be causing this. Is there a way to find the file that might be causing problems or is there a way to reset the pop-up so that it does not come up? I am not trying to open a file. The message comes up as if it is part of the start up process. It comes up even before I have time to open a program to open a file.
