The message "irritating has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution" is popping up and going away every few minutes on my Windows 10 desktop. Everything seems to be working fine but it continues to pop up. What could it be?

ran an Anti virus scan? Run Malwarebytes and see what it finds as well.

Have a look in the start up tab of task manager (right click task bar and select task manager. Click more details and open start up tab. if you see any you don't recognise, right click their name and select disable. Then restart PC and see if it still happens.

Thank you, Colif. I had run 3 other scans that didn't get rid of the message but Malwarebytes did, I think. It has not popped up so far. I did the task manager start up thing first and that didn't fix it, then did the scan. Thanks so much.
