Am I really the only one to have this problem? I've done multiple searches for it in Google and have found nothing about the issue in Win10.

So, ever since I've upgraded to Win10 from 7, I've had an issue with File Explorer where it opens on every boot. I've checked the startup programs in the Task Manager and it's the same programs I had on Win7. There's no such option for anything of this nature in the Explorer window itself. I haven't tried Safe Mode yet, as I really didn't think of it until now, but what should I look for if it doesn't help the problem?Go to "Personalisation" settings and "start" click on "choose which folders appear on start!" make sure "file explorer is in the off position!

It already was in the 'OFF' position.
This is a major bug which Microdaft don't have any answers for... well, not answers that make any sense or could be considered useful.

Funny, that setting refers to what appears on the Start bar not what starts at boot...
