    Settings / applications on startup / suspicious application

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    Choose the Startup Tab

    Is that suspicious application listed there?

    If so, right click that and choose 'Open File Location'

    What is the reported location of that application?

    Issues with some windows store Apps.

    Thank you for getting back to us. We suggest that you reset your Windows Store. Resetting the Windows store will clear the cache and cookies of the said application. Please follow these steps:

    • Left click on the Start menu and look for "Run".
    • Type "wsreset.exe".

    We'll wait for your update.

    Suspicious windows store application

    Applications downloaded from Windows Store cannot be launched.

    Hi Khan,

    Corrupted
    System Files
    and
    Windows Store Components     are some possible causes why these applications are not working. We suggest that you uninstall these
    applications and perform these methods of troubleshooting:

    Method 1: Update your drivers.

    Updating your
    drivers will help your applications and other system to run
    smoothly with your currents Windows version.
    To know how to update your drivers, click
    here.

    Method 2:
    Run SFC Scan.  

    SFC
    will
    scan
    and
    run
    an
    automatic repair
    to any
    corrupted system files
    that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
    SFC scan, follow these steps:  


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.  

    • Type
      sfc /scannow
      and hit
      Enter.   

    Method 3:
    Run DISM Tool.  

    DISM
    will
    restore any Corrupted System Image
    that causes the
    issues
    on your
    Windows. To perform DISM, follow these steps:  


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.  

    • Type the following command:  

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth  

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth  

    NOTE:
    This might take a while to finish scanning.
    Do not cancel.

    Method 4: Resetting Windows Store.

    To reset your
    Windows Store, just press
    Windows key + R,
    type
    WSReset.exe
    and hit
    Enter. Resetting
    your
    Windows Store
    will install new
    System Files
    and
    Components
    replacing those corrupted ones.

    After performing these methods, kindly
    reinstall
    those
    applications
    and check if there are any changes.

    Update us on how it goes so that we can investigate it further in case the troubleshooting fails.

    Regards.
