File explorer keeps opening and shutting down on its own.

Post by Chiksnz »

I did a diy mini lathe using centroid acorn and is working super fine. Then last year I did a Mini Mill and was working perfect until last week. First the cncpc showed notification that your windows 10 will expire in 4 days. I had windows firewall turned off as per centroid acorn pc configuration. Then a notification appeared .. threat detected, I checked and it was Hacktool:Windows32AutoKMS!ml. After a couple of days file explorer will shut down on its own or scroll through centroid windows on its own. Since I bought the mini pc on line I decided to buy a license key and upgrade the windows 10. still the problem did not go away. Can anyone help on this issue? I am not tech savvy, It only happens when centroid is open. Pliz help.

Auto KMS is a windows activation tool. Since you bought this online it’s likely that whoever you bought it from tried to activate your version of windows with a hacking tool and it’s not legit. This is why you are seeing messages that windows will expire. Unless you buy a PC from a legit source you never know what could be lurking on it. Have you run any malware scans?

I would buy a new, legit, licensed copy of windows from a legitimate brick and mortar business and do a full wipe on the hard drive and start from scratch. No telling what malware on your current system.
Cheers,

I agree, unless you bought it from a trusted source you could have all kinds of issues along with malware, keyloggers and who knows what else lurking on the machine. Wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. You can still buy a legit copy online, just make sure it's a trusted source, not eBay.
