    Unknown program file


    Hi, I have found a file amongst my Program Files and I have no idea of what it is. I am running Windows 10 Home 64 Bit on a HP Pavillion 500 series PC Model No. 500-081ea. The file is labelled as NzBiOWU5NDYy Does anybody know what it is/does and can I delete it? I have tried opening it and clicking on the applications inside but nothing happens except that my CPU usage goes sky high. The applications are labelled as:-



    MmExYjg (which has a silhouette of three people and a Windows shield as a logo)


    MmFiOTI ( which has a blue file and a search magnifying glass as a logo)


    NTFhODA4Yz ( which also has a blue file and a search magnifying glass as a logo)



    Can somebody help please?

    :)

  2. Change file association back to unknown program in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    1) Create a new file with any extension and save it on any location.

    2) Next Open Control Panel (icons view), click/tap on the default programs icon.

    3) Click/tap on the Associate a file type or protocol with a program
    link.

    4) Either double click/tap on the file extension or protocol, or click/tap on the file extension or protocol and click/tap on the
    Change Program button of the one you want to change the "current default' program association of.

    5) If the program you want to associate is not listed, then click/tap on the
    More Options
    link if available.

    6) Click/tap on a listed program that you want to associate.

    7) If you associated a program, then you will see this below as "Set Associations" updates and reloads.

    8) Once it is done go back to the file which you have created and delete the file.

    9) Go to default programs and refresh the set association programs. It should show as other unknown.

    Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

  3. Change file association back to unknown program in Windows 10

    • Create an empty text file.
    • Navigate to "All Control Panel Items"
    • Choose "Default Programs"
    • Choose "Associate a File Type or Protocol With a Specific Program"
    • Navigate to the file type you want to dissociate.
    • Click the "Change Program" button on the upper right.
    • Scroll to the bottom of the menu and choose "More Apps"
    • Scroll to the bottom of the menu and choose "Look for Another App on This PC"
    • Change the file type to "All Types" and point to the empty text file you created in step 1 (or create one now).
    • Click the "Open" button.
    • Your file extension will now be associated with the blank text document.
    • DELETE the document to restore the "Unknown Application" status.
    • You'll have to leave the "Set Associations" menu and re-enter it to see the change.

    Unknown program file

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?
