Q: installer screen opens when I shut down
for the past few weeks, when I shut down my computer, the installer screen pops up with the question "do you want to continue the installation or abort?"
It's only open for a few seconds … usually enough time for me to hit the 'Abort' button, but it always comes back the next time I shut down.
i have no idea what it is installing … how can i find out? how can I stop this?
thank you
