I am having the same issue with Windows 10 and i have ESET installed but here's where my issue occurred :
I wanted to allocate some space on my HDD to another partition so i download a defragmenter from auslogics which forced me to download boost8 even though i said not to download it. I knew it was a kind of virus so i proceeded to delete everything (but after running the defrag to analyze and optimize) and the issue occurred. I did a system restore to 1 day before and everything went back to normal.
Then i download Partition Wizard to partition and the issue occurred again after partitioning. Tried a system restore but could't get it to work because of issues on my side.
I tried every fix on the internet from checking if "auto arrange icons" was ticked (yes i know it's stupid but had to try at least) to deleting some reg entries.
Nothing worked.
It should go to note that During all that time NO updates were installed for Windows, NO virus scans were made and NO viruses were ever detected.
