    I'm also having exactly the same problem. There's no way to know if it's just a bug or if we have some kind of security breach or malware. Microsoft needs to fix this.

    Many people are finding it's because App and Browser Control is missing from the Security dashboard, and there's an action there that hasn't been taken.

    See the post near the bottom of page 3 by Tck Expat for the workaround.
