And clicking on Start only had another Start under it. And Start Experieces App only has MicrosoftStqartFeedProvider.

As for what's at the top, only Google Chrome and Task Manager. Nothing that sounds like android.

Nope, no Restore - and the laptop is working fine, just the annoying pop-up at Startup. UTUSN Friday #2
