Hello vagrantuk
This can be a result of a malware infection.
Try these
Open Windows Explorer
Tools/Folder Options/View
Put a check at “Show hidden files and folders”
Remove check from “Hide extensions for known file types”
Remove check from “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)”
Apply
OK
Now look for "Autorun.inf" in the root of the drive. By this I mean F:\ or whatever letter it is.
If you can`t see it
Start and select "Search" and search for
"autorun.inf" (Search the computer including hidden files)
Can you see a file "Autorun.inf"
If so rename it to a "a *.bak" file. (Right click/Rename)
It then becomes "AutoRun.bak"
Reboot and check if fixed.
You can delete the file later if all is well.
