    I think something could be triggering it..

    Can you hold do Ctrl+Alt+Del and launch Task Manager? Go to Startup tab, sort the status column so all enabeld ones are on the top, then share a screenshot so I can review all of the items that are set to launch at Windows startup.

    Next, hold down Win+R keys, type in

    shell:startup

    Press enter, and it should launch a folder. Please share a screenshot of everything in that folder so I can review.

    Thanks!
