I've been seeing the window shown in screenshot below from time to time across multiple Windows 10 installations. Recently it has become impossible to kill: no tab in taskbar, no process visible, I just have to reboot.

Virus scan doesn't find anything. Help :(

    Please get [Process Explorer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer), identify what executable owns this window, and update your question with details. See https://superuser.com/a/249416/707676 for more. – Attie Mar 16 '18 at 13:36

First, download and then run Process Explorer.

When running (run it with Administrator's rights), hold your mouse left button on the target icon (see the red arrow on the screenshot below).

Procexp screenshot

Then drag this icon on the window you are looking for.

Now Process Explorer will highlight the process owning this Window (you should be able to kill it by hitting Del Key.

  • Works, thanks! Too bad it's not possible from that software to remove the bug. I can't even see the path to the .exe, it says "[access denied]" in the path field – drake035 Mar 25 '18 at 15:05

    If it says [acess denied], it mean you havn't run procexp as administrator. Try to run it with `/e` parameter `procexp.exe /e` then you should have more informations – rebrec Mar 26 '18 at 06:33
  • I'll try next time (this damn thing comes when it wants), thanks a lot! – drake035 Mar 29 '18 at 08:28
