People talking shit about Andrew but I've had seriously weird issues with Windows throwing out odd permissions errors on seemingly basic shit on files that are 0kb after restarting and doing all sorts of basic troubleshooting including CMD Prompt and Powershell guides only for none of them to work.
It reeked of virus but never was. Just weird stupid shit that wasn't easily explained, should've worked but didn't, or various other things that the allmighty Lemmings here think is just beyond a google apparently.
FWIW I'm pretty sure it was straight up related to corrupted files in weird shared folder spots.
You have to pretend they don't exist and never think about them again after hiding them then hopefully never remember or just reinstall because it's been a couple years and probably good to do anyway.
