Hello

 

 

Could you please update me what issues remain with your machine?

[HelpNeeded911]

Hey there!

 

No more major issues except I'm unable to remove the Malwarebytes icon from the desktop for some reason. Although I'm logged in as the administrator (and sole user), I receive the following: You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this file.

 

Never had this problem before...any idea why?

[Naathim]

Not really. Unless there are some permissions issues.
Run gRaSP, reboot and try again.


Reset permissions with gRaSP

Please download gRaSP by Azarl and save it to your desktop.

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Your screen should blink once or twice during the fix.
• After a couple of seconds your machine may probably lose its network connection, that's normal.

Please reboot your machine after this operation.

[HelpNeeded911]

Strange. I tried this twice, but I receive the same error message when trying to remove the shortcut. I'm able to remove all other shortcuts just fine.

[Naathim]

Odd, I agree. Try to boot up in safe mode and if it go from there.

[HelpNeeded911]

It worked! I was able to delete it just fine in safe mode. Thanks so much!

[Naathim]

You are welcome!
