Hello everyone,

I am having this issue where the My Documents folder will open up on startup.

I have already checked in the task manager whether it was on the startup list but it isn't.

I can't think of much else to do to disable this.

It is worth noting that this started happening right after I installed update KB5012170.

My Windows version is Windows 11 Home 22H2 build 22621.900.

Grab a copy of AutoRuns, it should help narrow down which start up item is causing the issue.

It doesn't show up on Autoruns either, or atleast I didn't see it.

I have finally fixed it.

It was an app that was installed by default called Planet9 Billboard that most likely got corrupted somehow and instead of opening the billboard up, it was opening up the Documents folder.

For anyone with an Acer Nitro/Predator, I think this could be applicable.

Issue resolved and thank you all for your help!😊
