    Strange Popup Showing on the windows screen.


    Hello Everyone, I bought this laptop roughly two weeks ago and I have been seeing random and useless popups on the bottom right corner of the windows screen. I've attached the pictures for reference. Further, after clicking on the popup, different links open which show different content regarding subscribing to McAfee Antivirus, Other viruses, and sometimes dead links. I'm guessing that the laptop has virus, but I don't know what kind of virus it holds. If anyone has any ideas, Please share your knowledge and provide feedback. Thanks.The links that open:

    :)

    Strange Popup Showing on the windows screen.

    File Explorer jump list doesn't consistently show location popups

    Thanks for your reply.

    Whatever "it" is exactly, all I know is, it does not behave consistently. This is so across multiple systems. Also, it isn't just recent items, but pinned items that fail to produce the popup on mouse over (when they should).

    If the File Explorer setting you're referring to is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items," I already have that turned on.

    Based on my tests, I tend to think this is a bug. Did you try reproducing it?

    1. Right click File Explorer in taskbar to open the jump list.
    2. Mouse over any of the pinned or recent folders and see if the popup with the location path appears (as shown in the screenshot with the original post).
    3. If it does appear, close out of the jump list by left clicking anywhere outside of it.
    4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find the popups not appearing. In my experience, it always occurs, even if not right away. And all too often when I need them most.
