Superfluous responses required by Windows

[Odin]

Whenever I restart my computer the Control Panel (which I have pinned to the taskbar) opens to no discernible purpose, and I always have to close it. Also, when I restart or just waken the computer from sleep I must always click on a square in the middle of the screen before I can resume operation. (Concerning this latter issue, that square apparently points to the user, but I am the only user.) Is there any way of making these operations of mine unnecessary? Could I either automate my response in each case, or, better, could I eliminate the issues altogether?

You may have programs running at startup that is causing this issue. Please see this tutorial to temporary disable them and see if the issue is resolved:

Log On Automatically at Startup

Also, when I restart or just waken the computer from sleep I must always click on a square in the middle of the screen before I can resume operation. (Concerning this latter issue, that square apparently points to the user, but I am the only user.)

I'm not sure if this is what you mean.

Check that the Startup folders do not contain any entries that aren't required (e.g. Control Panel):

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
​

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
