    Why does a new window with red, yellow, blue icon keep popping up on my Windows?


    Hi, I just got this new HP Envy 17t 17.3" (2019). However, each time I'm working on it, a new window with a red, yellow and blue icon keep popping up in many places (I've circled it in the attached picture). It opens like 30 new windows at a time. I checked my Task Manager, and the program is called "Foal". I didn't install such a program on my computer. Has any other person experienced this? Is it a virus? Please help!Why does a new window with red, yellow, blue icon keep popping up on my Windows? [​IMG]

    Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


    After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?


    Why does a new window with red, yellow, blue icon keep popping up on my Windows? [​IMG]


    EDIT: Here's a solution...
    Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

    1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
    2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
    3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
      Code:
      Code:
      cmd /c start ""
    I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

    Red, blue, and yellow icon messing up computer

    When I first start my computer, I have several small blank windows with only an exit out button that appear and disappear several times, with several windows appearing at once sometimes. These windows sometimes make a red, blue, and yellow icon briefly appear
    on the task bar. This didn't used to appear and it seems to affect the performance of my computer. So long as these windows are appearing and for a little while after, everything I try to use freezes.

    I looked through my programs to see if I could find a matching icon and delete that program, but found nothing. This is incredibly annoying and I'd like to get rid of this problem if possible. Any ideas?

    Windows vista x64 computer icon always changing

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?
