Hello!
I noticed a weird bug, today my PC restarted, probably because of a power failure due to bad weather. Fortunately, I have configured it to switch on automatically after the power is back, so I can access it remotely. I started loading my applications and then tried to load Notepad to read some instructions I had on a text file. I usually press WIN+R to open a Run window and I type
Thank you in advance.

Notepad
, it loads, then it automatically opens my last document. Today this didn't work. I tried 2-3 times, nothing. Having Task Manager open I saw that it tries to load Notepad and then closes before showing any window on screen. If I double-click a text file it opens just that, not my last document from before. If I write the full path, such as C:\Windows\Notepad.exe
in Run window it opens OK. What's going on? Should I worry about some malware messing with the real Notepad application?Thank you in advance.
