CROGRA~1 ( c colon backslash progra tilde 1) is what we used to call an 8.3 or SFN back in the day. While your problem is not perfectly clear to me I can guarantee you should not rename your program files directory. Most likely your PATH environment variable has a problem, and an app is bitching about it.

Run Malwarebytes in Safe Mode .
Then boot to normal mode .
Admin command prompt :
Chkdsk c: /f
No to force a dismount , yes to check disk on restart
sfc /scannow

Do you have Wise Registry Cleaner from before ?

Actually , try this first :
Windows 10 Clean Boot
If no message , it is a program causing the problem

This sounds more than a little complicated.
Is there an easier way to see if there is a program issue?

BTW!
My husband just remember the other day shutting down the computer it ran out of juice and crashed. Could that cause issues with corrupt files.

Thanks for saying that, I'm glad he remembered doing that.
See the new info above. It is part of Webroot on Startup, and a file on the C Drive.
Can we just delete it.

I'll play it safe with chkdsk.
BTW, can we disable it in startup...should chkdsk not fix it?

We'll see what happens in the morning after we run chkdsk.
Fingers and toes crossed......and many, many thanks for both of us
BTW, why run chkdsk instead of scannow?
