    Untitled Menu Top Left of Screen on Windows Start

    Hi, I occasionally get an untitled menu in the top left of my screen wanting me to proceed or skip. I have been skipping until today when I accidentally proceeded. I ended up with the attached menu. What is it? And how do I get rid of it. Is it rogue software? Regards Alan Liddle
