I keep being asked if I want to run the game centre, which I don't, and didn't realise I had, and which I cannot see any way of stopping this. Where does this message come from ? What is the game centre ? Why does it keep popping up ? Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop it ? Sent from...

Plug device into USB port on PC and file manager will display contents of device. You may select and copy from device to PC. I don't have an iPhone, but it works for iPad and 2 other phone makes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Suggest you don't mess with these or Windows may cease to operate properly. As the folder suggests these apps are used by THE SYSTEM. In fact it's a pity Microsoft don't hide this folder to protect inquisitive users. Leave well alone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes.. I have checked EVERYTHING. Gone through settings and control panel with a fine tooth comb. Strangely enough since my original post it's only happened once, so it may have been sorted out by recently downloaded updates to Win 10. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Normally I leave my PC on lock screen or put it to sleep using a key on my keyboard. On several occasions I have returned to my PC (after some hours) only to find that it has shut down for no apparent reason. On switching it back on the boot sequence runs OK with no error messages or reason for...
