They seemed to momentarily flash but immediately closed. I tried to open Chrome History, Bookmarks, More Tools, and Help but the menus would not open!!! - This is a new observation. I ran a McAfee quick scan - it showed no problems. I tried to run Windows Security quick scan, but the button would not respond. I noted that not only jpeg files are being opened instead of the browser when I click the browser icon on the desktop, but also some *.doc files I have posted on desktop. Anyway, today I started up PC at around 6:30 AM, let it sit there untouched, then tried to open a browser from the Desktop at 7:10 AM. Feel like I am wasting my time here looking for help. UPDATE 3, 3/19/23, 7:30 AM PDT: First of all, I guess this site is of no use for those of us who aren't computer professionals because I've gotten no feedback at all. When the scan was done, the desktop started operating normally again.

When I tried to open a browser, the same problem appeared again. I didn't touch it for at least an hour after startup.

Today, I started the computer up normally after shutting it down normally last night. I then ran a McAfee full scan and it also showed no problems. However, after the scan was completed, my desktop icons started working normally. I have both Windows Defender and McAfee Live Safe on my PC. I also notice that if I right click the browser icon to get the pop up menu for it, that the men shown instead is the popup menu for the jpeg file. I notice that when I click on the browser icon, the little arrow that is supposed to show up in the top left corner of the browser icon gets transferred to a jpeg icon. If I try to open the browser from the icon on my Taskbar, this doesn't happen.Īt first I thought it was the system hadn't fully loaded after startup yet but today it had been over an hour after start up and it was doing it again. After starting up my PC, every time I click on a browser icon that is on my desktop - doesn't matter if it is Chrome, Firefox, or Edge - instead of opening the browser, my PC starts to open and display as a rapid slideshow, several, if not all, of the jpeg pictures that I have stored on my desktop.

This started happening the day after my latest Windows 10 update a few days ago (3/15/23).
