phil69 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Some item shoots from middle of screen towards start button after start in windows 7. I don't seem to have any problems but it's weird since it just started about a month or two ago. Anybody have an idea what it is and maybe how to get rid of it?

ir_cow Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Sounds like a program is starting with windows and automatically minimizing. It could be anything really, hard to say what program(s) do that. It is pretty common. You could try and see what is starting with windows and disable things one at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkakmanH Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 You might try a search on your C Drive for "startup". There are several "startup" folders. Look in each one for any programs you have not installed. Particularly in your "Users" folder under AppData. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil69 Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions. Samsung Magician was the problem. I upgraded my storage and installed that program. I guess every company wants to make themselves known. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
