Windows 10: Windows 10 popup

Getting advertising popups that look like windows 10 alerts in lower right corner. These say your norton antivirus or trend antivirus or even mcafee antivirus has expired guess when today. However my customer has NONE of thes installed. There is no x box to x out, just the windows 10 arrow to click then alert goes away. Have started malware bytes running. Quick scan of customer computer shows 0 found. Customer appears to have enabled start screen. Pop ups started after this was turned on. Are these pop ups in relation to this? She is on a all in one, but uses keyboard and mouse. Did have classic shell loaded, removed and windows jey quit working. Reinstalked and windows key back to working.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
