Thanks to Spunk: That worked!

Thanks for these suggestions. Unfortunately, neither my Firefox dashboard nor Malwarebytes was able to find this problem.

To be clear, this is not a problem that happens when I first open Firefox....

The problem is not with my home page, which looks normal. The problem is some app is starting Firefox and directing it to this address as part of the boot-up for my system, and I can't find a way to...

Suddenly today I have a problem on startup that happens every time and never happened before: my Firefox Browser pops up with the following URL:...

Option One: Delete "Windows.old" and "$Windows.~BT" Folders in Disk Cleanup
Then I renamed my old "Windows" folder to "Windows.old" and started the disk...

My system has two drives, one of which is a large HDD that I use to store big folders that I rarely access. The system runs Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Trying to clean up this drive, I came across a large...

MS keeps installing Onenote on my laptop (WinX version 19045) and I keep removing it because I hate clutter. Strangely, it doesn't try to install this app on my desktop. Is there a switch somewhere...

Well, I blundered my way to salvation, I think:

Renamed the troublesome folder to "Old Trash"
Used standard Windows protocol to delete that folder
Found deleted folder in trash can on my...

Sorry to be unclear. I have consistently used Administrator privileges whenever possible since the beginning of this discussion.

It didn't find any corrupted files on drive D. Now what?

"As Administrator did you change the Explorer settings to show hidden and system files?"

I appreciate all the efforts above. I was able to clear out the garbage on my system drive (C:) but when I tried it on my auxiliary drive (D:) I got the error shown below and nothing I could do took...

The desktop system I use has a HDD and a SSD. I use the latter for gaming, which involves removing large apps every month or two, and replacing them with other large apps. In between, I normally use...

Works great -- THANKS!

WinVer 21H2 - When I right-click, there's a drop-down menu that includes the option "New" which, when I click it, insists on showing me only MSFT document formats. Is there some way I can tell it to...

Thanks!

OK, now I got the message about replacing the CMOS battery. Since I built that computer, I should be able to do that... I think.

As for the "2 drives" issue, sorry for the confusion. You are...
