    Unattended Windows 10 Pro launches Explorer, Calculator and other Apps Multiple Times...


    I have 3 similarly configured 64-Bit Windows 10 Pro PCs, and all were upgraded in 2019 from Windows 7.


    A number of months ago Earlier in 2020, one of them would autonomously open several instances of Explorer, Calculator, and a few other Apps. I would generally discover this in the morning, after the PC had been left idle, but running without hibernation over night. ...and most recently, it closed Firefox, and lost all of my Tab History.


    I found a couple of similar complaints about similar activities in 2016, but nothing recent. I have done several virus scans, and have even started putting that PC into Airplane Mode overnight, but haven't found a definitive solution.


    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for remediating this before I resort to a full system reformat.


    My thanks in advance...

    :)

    Window's 10 Calculator won't launch

    Hi Dan,

    There could be a number of factors as to why you are having issues launching the Calculator app on Windows 10. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to the application itself.

    You may consider resetting the Calculator app. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & feature.
    • Click the Calculator app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

    If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a new user account. This is for us to check if the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. To do this, select the Start button, then select
    Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
