    Hello! I have a pretty odd question;For the last couple of days I've noticed that icons in a very specific area on my desktop cannot be clicked, and whenever I try to move a file over the spot it just.... opens up in this odd window? Even when it's not a folder it shows up empty like that.... I haven't mingled in the settings, and I definitely never agreed to a random change like that. This is the size of the problem area, I also have the smallest icons possible. I would love to know what is this even called, and if it can be turned off.Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone with even a s

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Office files doesn´t open after Win10 update


    Solved this problem on my own.
    Some of files were marked "from another computer and blocked for security"
    Just tap allow and everything works fine.
