Windows 11 pro error

Darko · Jan 12, 2025

I bought a new LENOVO ThinkPad E16 G1 Intel Core i7-13700H 32GB 1TB laptop. Installed Windows 11 pro, original key and everything and started installing other things. For now, just a browser and a few things.
When turning on or restarting the laptop, a small square appears on the desktop with "error" written in the middle, nothing more and it is easily removed. But it's there every time. What could it be and how do I remove it permanently?
Please help.
The laptop was purchased without OS.
There were also some problems with the original Bitdefender total security and frequent notifications, but I solved that.

In this video, i will show you how to use Process Explorer to identify windows or message boxes that appear without any obvious indicator of what program they're from.

Thank you very much for the advertisement for your program, but I didn't understand anything at all and I don't see how it would be useful to me.

Have you done a deep scan with Bitdefender. It's message is more important to deal with than the 'error' message. If you fix one problem the minor one will probably be fixed too.

It looks like the error is something that is blocked by the Bitdefender. Try disabling Bitdefender and see if the error goes away. If so, then you got your answer. Up to you if you want to continue using the Bitdefender but personally, those 3rd party security programs do more harm than good. Just my two cents.

@Darko, click on 'view attack timeline' and post a screenshot of the results.

What if the process causing the window is malicious? Identify the process first, then fiddle with anti-malware when the system is stable if you want.

Oh, I would investigate the Bitdefender warning first as OP seems to be ignoring the message as he says he knows how to 'deal' with it.

It's a NEW laptop.

Not sure what the age of the laptop has to do with anything. "...started installing other things. For now, just a browser and a few things."

A new laptop has malicious stuff going on?
Anyway, this is a waste of time since the OP is not even responding.

Yes, it could, if the person has been "installing other things," especially a browser, if they went somewhere on the internet. That's why I said it's best to ID the process that's causing the window first. It's irresponsible to tell someone to disable their anti-malware product with a possible malicous thing right in the screenshot. Sorry if you don't agree with that.

Yeah, I don't agree.
What's the worse that could happen if you disable a 3rd party anti-Malware? It's not even a standard app. It's just optional.
The first thing that you should do is to isolate the possible problem before you waste your time ID'ing stuffs. It's already there right in front of you.

You are the first the program does not belong to me, you did not realize that of course not.

It’s a new laptop that didn’t have an OS installed. So the OP has installed Windows themselves, as well as a few other things.
I’d be interested to know where Windows came from.

LOL this has nothing to do with anything. I could buy a brand new laptop, delete all partitions, reinstall windows fresh and install malware in a 20 min span…

If you do it intentionally, it just doesn't make sense. That is not what the OP is trying to do.

Edit:
Actually, you could be right, because the OP installed Bitdefender. And that is what I was pointing out as the cause.

If the OP installed apps or the Windows 11 OS from a questionable web site, they could easily have installed a Malicious app.
BTW, You do not need BitDefender. Windows Security (Defender) works well and you do not need 3rd party AV app. When you install a 3rd party AV app, it disables Windows Security (Defender)
If you installed BitDefender, than do a full scan with it and Quarantine or Remove anything it finds and restart afterwards.

Scanning for malware

www.bitdefender.com

If that doesn't work, download ADWCleaner scan and remove. Follow it up with a Malwarebytes scan and Quarantine .
After restarting, Uninstall BitDefender with their Uninstall app, then reenable Windows Security as a normal uninstall doesn't remove
BitDefender totally.

That’s what I want to know. Or questionable activation.
