Just Updated Windows What Are These Random File Icons On My Desktop

Windows 10 apps won't open up.How can I fix it?

Ok here's the easy answer fix that I normally have a quick phone conversation about this problem: Critical Error – Start menu and Cortana aren’t working.  We’ll try to fix it the next time you sign in. The thing is likely this will happen to every and I mean every Windows 10 user at least once and they should follow the answer I just linked because it works. I will even copy and paste the answer for you:We are aware that some customers are experiencing this error, and are actively investigating.  You may be able to temporarily resolve the issue by booting to Safe Mode, and then immediately booting back into normal mode.  This workaround may resolve your problem for a while, however the error may return later.To boot to Safe Mode: From Hold the Shift key down while you press the Power icon and select Restart.Once you are within the Windows Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot, then Advanced options, thenStartup Settings, and Restart.When it restarts, you should see a number of options.  Press 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with networking.Once you sign into your account in Safe Mode, you’re done.  Just restart your PC to return to a normal boot.If you are running a 3rd-party antivirus software, we recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the antivirus software, as this may also provide a workaround for this problem.  The easiest way to uninstall an app is to find it in the Start menu’s app list, right-click the app, and select Uninstall. Some customers have reported that adding a new local administrator account has resolved their Critical Error. If that doesn’t work, try removing the original administrator account now that you have a new one created.We would like to thank the community for providing logs to help us investigate this issue.  With your help, we now have enough information provided in the logs you have provided to drive continued investigations into a solution.  Thank you!Some additional content has been published here. It includes details on creating the new local administrator account as suggested above.

I just bought a new PC, do I own the Windows 10 license?

I just bought an HP desktop PC from Best Buy and it came with Windows 10, does that mean I own the license for the operating system like I own the computer itself, or do I have to purchase the license separately?

How do I stop constant fake virus alert pop-ups?

When I change webpages, a fake virus alert pops up constantly. It says "Caution! Your computer contains a variety of signature viruses and malicious programs. Your System requires checking AntiVirus! The system will perform a fast and free check your PC for viruses and malicious programs." That is what it exactly says. It's really annoying and I want to get rid of it right away. I never downloaded the "antivirus", knowing that it's actually a malware. Please help!

Does WinRAR Have a Virus?

Winrar is safe, but malware could have infected it. Crapafee didn't find anything, because it couldn't find malware if it were under it's "nose," so to speak. Get a good AV, but take these steps first:

1. Run rkill, just download to the desktop, and double click the icon. No need to install. Read the description, not much to read. Delete when done, you can't update it:

2. After rkill has run successfully, install, and run a full scan with MBAM, it's free. Decline the free trial on install, you should keep this program:

Now find a good AV, and run a full scan with it. I suggest Avira free, it is a very good AV, much better than crapafee:

What's the coolest thing you can get a computer to do in 10 lines of code?

I have some pretty easy things in mind.These are all batch files, so you'll have to type these in notepad, and save the file with a '.bat’ extension.The falling green code:@echo off
color 2
:start
echo %random% %random% %random% %random%
%random% %random% %random% %random%
%random% %random% %random% %random%
%random% %random%

goto start
There's no point of this code. It just looks cool. Somewhat like this:My most favourite prank using batch:This is NOT a virus. This file makes it look like someone has infected your PC with a virus. But everything's fine. Trust me XDIt's a little over 10 lines, but worth it.@echo off

@echo WARNING VIRUS ATTACK!

@echo WARNING VIRUS ATTACK!

@echo WARNING VIRUS ATTACK!

@echo All Files Deleted. Reboot to Restore.

@echo Press Enter to Reboot

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >NUL

@echo C: Drive Deleted

@echo WARNING! All Files Lost! Virus Detected

@echo Contact Administrator

@echo WARNING! FIREWALL BREACHED!
pause
shutdown -s -f -t 15 -c
The last line is the best part of this code. This code will shut the PC on which it's run within 15 seconds of scaring the hell outta the user.The fake error message box:This is not a batch file. This is a vbs file. So, this must be typed in notepad and saved as 'name.vbs’Type code following this syntax in notepad:x=msgbox("YOUR MESSAGE HERE", Button+Icon, "YOUR TITLE HERE")
You can type whatever message you'd like the error box to show instead of “YOUR MESSAGE HERE” in the code (see to it that the message is in double quotes)Codes for 'Button':0 — OK1 — OK and Cancel2 — Abort, Retry, and Ignore3 — Yes, No, and Cancel4 — Yes and No5 — Retry and CancelCodes for 'icon':0 — No icon16 — Critical icon32 — Question mark icon48 — Warning icon64 — Information iconExample code:x=msgbox("This is a very serious problem", 0+48 "Don't worry...")
And the error box will look like:Edit:Thanks for the 100 upvotes. This is my first answer with 100+ upvotes.
