    It looks great but I didn't install it in my Windows 10 machine and it keeps popping up all over the place.
    Since I don't know what it's name is I can't
    do anything about stopping it. If you have any ideas, let me know,
    Thanks for reading it.

    Is it Macrium Reflect? Hard to say from your pic.

    As mentioned, it is MR. Or at least the same symbol they are using.

    It is not Macrium Reflect. I looked all over that thing for a name but nothing.

    Did you try clicking the "?" at the top-right, then look for something "About..." or maybe "Help->About..."

    That or open Task Manager and see if you can spot something you don't recognize.

    Can you share a screenshot? All I see in your first post is Windows Explorer window and Macrium's system image files.

    If you didn't knowingly install it and further be missing a name I would be about jettisoning it ASAP.

    On the other hand if you have Macrium Reflect installed it might do well to search the program if it's some auto imaging setting?

    Just saying

    I don't know what Reflect is doing on there.
    One thing at a time. I'll talk about that later.

    Shouldn't a Macrium Reflect backup image file end like this:
    00-00.mrimg
    Well, I only do full backup images myself (on Win 7).
    And when I hoover my mouse pointer over such a file, it does tell me that it is a MR file.
    But things might be different on other systems.

    I only do full backups myself but all this is new to me becaus I killed my laptop and had to pay to get it fixed.
    I guess I was gypped but I cannot find out how to stop it. Looks like a good file manager so I hate to uninstall it.
    I am tempted however.
    Anybody got an idea?

    When you double click "This PC", does the window have the same format and appearance as the popup?

    Edit... Is this possible?

    Not true in this case.
    Something is crazy in this computer. A bunch of programs are included in the task program.
    I checked another computer and only two are there.

    Can you post a screenshot of what is there?

    So D: drive is on an internal disk? Correct? Or external?

    It's always the same window that pops up? The one containing the Macrium images.

    Thanks for the post.
    I usually fix everything myself but I was not able to go.
    Big mistake on my part.

    Looks like I have a mess on my hands,
    I started with Windows in 1994 and I never had the problems I have experienced this weekend.
    I had never even seen Task Manager before. Well, I have now.
    What I would like to know is how to stop it.
    It's not a problem on my other computers.
    I never saw it pop-up. :(

    If windows explorer window is popping out it might be a problem with your drive D: which could trigger autoplay function and open file explorer. You can try turning off autoplay and see if it stops. You will still have to figure out what's happening with that drive if this will help.

    @jadinolf I tend to think the repair shop mounted their disk D: to your comp to make a backup image using MR. Unfortunately it looks like they didn't unmount D: correctly what results in a pop-up loop. If you don't succeed here on Wilders you should turn back on the shop.

    One more thought: do you have memory card slot on your computer? If yes, you can check if there is a memory card inserted.
