zmarks Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Neither. I recently upgraded to Windows 10. But I'd never heard of the program before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Go into your startup folder in your Start menu and delete the file called ActvateReminder.exeEdit: I just realized there is no folder called StartUp any longer in Windows 10 in the start menu, but the folder is still there in the user's profile folder.

BrewManNH Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I corrected myself 48 minutes ago, I said there's no startup folder in the START MENU, I didn't say there was no startup folder in the user's profile directory in fact I made a point of saying that it is where you would find it.

zmarks Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Surya:I cannot find the program listed among those under Settings\Systems\Apps & Features. I also could find neither the EXE noted in the error nor any program called AutoIt with a search in File Explorer. How would I reinstall the program? Is it a web-based installation?Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
