Your screenshot shows a message prompting you to install Adobe Flash Player in order to use "YoWindow" (probably a screensaver or weather app) when your computer is inactive for 1 minute. This is likely being triggered by your screensaver settings.
What's Happening:

• When you are away from your computer for 1 minute, the YoWindow screensaver activates, but since Flash Player is no longer supported, you see the prompt to install it.

How to Fix It:

1. Change your screensaver:
   • Right-click your desktop and select "Personalize"
   • Go to "Lock Screen" → "Screen saver settings" (or just search "Screen saver" in Windows search)
   • Choose a different screensaver (for example: None, or another option)
   • Click "Apply" and "OK"
2. Uninstall or update YoWindow:
   The version you have likely requires Flash, which is obsolete and not supported since 2021. If you want to use YoWindow, get the latest version from their official site (if available, and if it no longer uses Flash).
3. Flash Player is discontinued:
   Do not try to install Flash, as it is a security risk and no longer works in modern Windows versions.

Summary:
You are seeing this pop-up because your screensaver (YoWindow) is obsolete and tries to use Flash Player. Change your screensaver to get rid of this message. Let me know if you need step-by-step instructions with pictures!
