when run Ghost VPN as admin, there's no popup; it is only when the VPN is not running the popup appears

That's weird. It means the popup is probably being generated by something other than CyberGhost. 

Try adding CyberGhost into Defender's exclusions. ...]]> Sat, 28 Feb 2026 16:43:14 -0500 kburra on Cyber Ghost Error https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/cyber-ghost-error/#p16177 Windows 10 Operating System https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/cyber-ghost-error/#p16177 Thanks for the reply.

Have you tried running CyberGhost as admin? If not, right click CyberGhost's executable or shortcut and select "Run as administrator". See if that stops the popup.

To eliminate the possibility that your antivirus is blocking CyberGhost ...]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 20:30:37 -0500 kburra on Cyber Ghost Error https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/cyber-ghost-error/#p16175 Windows 10 Operating System https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/cyber-ghost-error/#p16175 I have CyberGhost VPN (paid version), which has been running fine for about six months, but now every few minutes this popup appears (see pic).

The mention of "Cortana" in the event error report is a tad concerning. Microsoft removed Cortana quite some time ago.

What version of Windows are you running... 10 or 11? And what build... 22H2,23H2,24H2,25H2?

Did you take the screenshot of the ...]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:16:44 -0500 Harry Anchan on Hated green bar that painfully crawls from left to right when I open a folder in Windows 10. https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/hated-green-bar-that-painfully-crawls-from-left-to-right-when-i-open-a-folder-in-windows-10/#p16166 Windows 10 Operating System https://davescomputertips.com/forum/windows-10-operating-system/hated-green-bar-that-painfully-crawls-from-left-to-right-when-i-open-a-folder-in-windows-10/#p16166 3.pngImage Enlarger
