    1) If you are using Paint to save your screenshots, grab the lower right corner of the whiteboard area and drag it to the upper left corner. Leave a square that is less than an inch in size. Close Paint while the whiteboard is that size. Then you screenshots should not have all of that white area around them.

    2) Are any of the Explorer instances communicating with the internet?

    No more pop ups. Like I said in my eariler post I look at the task manager as soon as the computer starts up and there not multiple explorer.exe at first. Only a little whilel later multiple processes called ctfmon.exe show up at the same time and then go away. After that explorer.exe starts doing it's annoying thing.

    Have a look whether the ctfmon.exe is in the startups. If yes, disable it.

    You don't really need the ctfmon. If you want to kill it, run these 2 commands in a Run box

    Regsvr32.exe /u msimtf.dll

    Regsvr32.exe /u msctf.dll

    Regsvr32.exe /u msctf.dll
    when I attempt this I get this message

    The module "msimtf.dll" was loaded but
    the call to DllUnregisterServer failed with the error code

    Nuisance


    That thing (ctfmon.exe) is a nuisance.
    It is like malware.

    It will use any random event as an opportunity to run.
    On my PC, if I disable Avast (temporarily) ctfmon.exe starts!

    It is supposed to provide "language support".
    Are you using multiple languages on your PC?

    Looks like you have more problems in your system. Maybe a startup/repair is in order before we get back to the ctfmon
