    Mysterious blue earth icon appearing and disappearing ?

    Hi,

    Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

    I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and your effort towards resolving it.

    I would suggest you to hover the mouse on that blue earth icon to know the name of the application.

    If you are able to identify that application name then, I suggest you to check if that application is present in the
    Programs and Features. Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button and select Control Panel from the list.
    • Click on Programs and Features.
    • Check if that application is present.
    Also, check if that application is present in the Apps & features from the following steps:

    • Press Windows + I keys from the Keyboard to open the
      Settings.
    • Click on System and click on Apps & features from the left pane.
    • Check if that application is present.
    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are happy to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Mysterious drive Z: appears!

    Hi @jumanji
    In my case, the reg edit from eightforums didn't work; also removing HP Support program didn't work.
    My Z drive appears as the same size/same used amount as the OS drive.

    The multiple network adapters are not present on here either.
    I created a new user, and the Z drive does not appear in the new user account.

    I know there was an issue about 1 month ago, where Avast had updated its program, the system had not been rebooted for a while (always sleeping), and Fast Startup was ON. The system was rebooted, and it booted into a temporary user. I eventually fixed things, but it appears that this problem remains (not positive if this is related or not). Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
