There must have been a Windows update or something because now I have a big
white balloon that comes up in my system tray, every time I load up the
computer. This has only been coming up in the last few weeks or so, which
makes me think it is a Windows update.
The balloon shows a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark inside.
It states,
"Windows has blocked some startup programmes. Windows blocks programs that
require permission to run when Windows starts. Click to view blocked
programs."
I did this and it showed me the programmes I always have a on the start menu
anyway, with a sign saying ‘permitted’ for each one, whereas I know this
already. Then there are other, new programs, I have never seen before,
under the banner ‘Windows Defender’ with signs saying ‘Not Yet Classified.’
Eventually, in the same boot up session, I can eventually get rid of the
balloon. After that it shows in the system tray, with all my other items
already there, as a square turquoise icon with a red circle and a red line
across it diagonally, on a white background and this sits on the bottom left
of the turquoise icon.
I really do not want these extra programmes on my system tray. I was quite
happy with the amount of startup programmes I have there in the first place.
Do I really need these programmes on my system, start up tray?
Can anybody please tell me how I stop this item and the balloon coming up,
each time I reboot?
I appreciate any help given.
Thank you in advance.
Gill
