    "Utility" listed in startup on Win10


    Hello!

    I had recently refreshed my laptop to clean it up a bit. I noticed that this file called "utility" shows up under my startup area and I can't figure out what it is for. When I right click it, the only options I get is to search it online as the rest of the options are greyed out. When it tries to search through bing, it looks up "utility.exe utility" and I can't seem to find any straight answer because so many different .exe's are named "utility.exe"

    Searching the same thing through google has yield the same results.

    My laptop is a lenovo yoga 720. When the laptop reset, it did put "lenovo utility" on the laptop. However, Lenovo has moved to using "lenovo vantage" so I removed the lenovo utility and replaced with vantage. I mention this because I'm not sure whether this is some left over data from lenovo utility or something else.

    I have already tried running disk cleanup and have also tried searching "this PC" in file file explorer but I haven't been able to get it to disappear or to find where this is coming from.

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    Disable "GrooveMonitor Utility" at Startup?: I am a relative neophyte when it comes to personal computers. Is it recommended to disable the startup item "GrooveMonitor Utility"? And, if so, is it just a matter of changing its status in the Task Manager from "Enabled" to "Disabled"? Many thanks. 39815
