[SOLVED] What is epexplorer in my startup?

[ManOfArc]

I see a program called xpexplorer in my Win10 task manager/startup folder. Apparently running in the background all the time. When I Google for what it is, I find results pointing to a 3rd party app called xpexplorer.exe. Is that what it is? Is Microsoft using a 3rd party app for their W10 file explorer?

And why is it still called XP?

Nope. Have you looked for any programs installed in Control Panel/Programs and Features that you don't recognize?

Also, have you scanned for malware recently?

Have you installed any other software recently? Other freeware?
This may have come bundled with something else.

OK. Thanks for that info. I just ran Malwarebytes and it didn't find anything. I would have run Win built-in Virus app to do an off-line scan, but it appears to be disabled since I installed MB. (That didn't used to happen)

Update: I just found out what it belongs to. A pgm called XPE Windows 10 DPI Fix that I installed to change the size of icons, text, apps,etc. Problem solved.
User error! Please mark this solved. Thank you.
