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.
