After upgrading Windows 10 to version 1803 on May 1 I have started getting a problem - Notepad opens with desktop.ini as soon as OS finishes to boot.
The content of Notepad is empty and a message says: you don't have permission to open this file.
1. Firstly, I searched my C: drive for any created desktop.ini file(s)
I found there three files located in different folders:
a) C:\users\desktop.ini
when I click on file I can read the content in notepad
[.ShellClassInfo]LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll,-21813
(the file was created on 4/11/18)
b) C:\Users\User's Name\AppData\Roaming\MS\Windows\Start Menu\desktop.ini
I can read as well as its content in notepad
..........................................................................................................dll, -21786
( the file was create on 5/1/18 )
c) C:\Users\User's Name\AppData\Roaming\MS\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini
the file in notepad is empty and was created on 4/11/18
I verified this empty notepad file pops up when Windows 10 finishes to boot.
Also, I checked the security of this file that I cannot delete from the drive.
I checked my drive for any viruses and adware, it is clean.
Any help is appreciated.
