    The "error" message on your desktop could be caused by a startup app or service that is misconfigured. To fix it:

    1. Check Startup Apps: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, go to the Startup tab, and disable any unfamiliar apps.
    2. Run a Clean Boot: Use msconfig to disable non-Microsoft services, restart, and see if the error persists.
    3. Check Event Viewer: Open Event Viewer (Win + X > Event Viewer) to find any logged errors related to startup.
    4. Update Drivers: Use Lenovo Vantage or Windows Update to ensure all drivers are up to date.

    If it persists, it might be from leftover pre-installed software. A clean Windows reinstall may also help.
