Microsoft Troubleshooting Tool

[Plasten59]

When I opened Kaspersky's Microsoft Troubleshooting Tool and clicked on "Search for damage caused by malware activity", the options in the picture appeared. I cleaned all of them, but I just new formatted the computer and ran a full scan. Kaspersky did not find any viruses. What could be the reason for this?

Hello @Plasten59,

these are not 'damages' caused by malware, but the default settings of Windows.

MS is primarily concerned with the convenience of the user, the security of the system comes second. Kaspersky looks at it differently.
However, autostarting from an unknown USB stick, for example, can be very dangerous. The malware may be given free rein if it is simply allowed to start.
