  • "_It comes before i start any programs._" But, I saw your picture and it says "How do you want to open this file?" You're not starting any program, you're choosing a File and Windows is proposing with which program you want to open it – josemartindev Nov 23 '17 at 10:55

Normally is when a file named with your username is created. You need just to delete it and it'll be ok. It is located in your Users folder. Follow one of these links if you don't find its location: first link and second link.
