The Frustrating Mystery of the Glitchy Computer: My Journey to Find a Solution

Have you ever experienced a technical issue that makes you feel like you’re losing your mind? Recently, I found myself entangled in a perplexing computer dilemma that left me feeling utterly frustrated and desperate for answers. Here’s my story about battling an incessant glitch that took over my desktop and laptop.

The Problem Emerges

It all began yesterday when my computer started exhibiting bizarre behavior. I noticed that it was inexplicably copying random text and files without my intervention. Initially, it seemed manageable, as a quick restart would temporarily resolve the issue. However, minutes later, the erratic copying would resume, rendering my device nearly impossible to use. I attempted several troubleshooting steps, such as resetting the computer and uninstalling drivers, but nothing seemed to work.

Keyboard? No Problem!

To eliminate any doubts, I disconnected my keyboard and tried a different one—yet the issue persisted. Frustration was mounting as I sought help from various online forums, hoping someone might have the solution to my bizarre predicament.

A New Variable: The USB Drive

It wasn’t until I remembered that I had downloaded Radiant Viewer, a medical tool for DICOM files, and transferred files from a USB drive given to me by my professor that I began to suspect foul play. After downloading the same software and files onto my laptop, the glitch made its unwelcome appearance there as well. My sanity was slipping away.

To illustrate the chaos, I documented the glitches in action: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3.

Identifying the Culprit

After a thorough investigation, I concluded that the USB drive was likely the source of the trouble. A full disk reset showed promise, but inserting the USB immediately threw everything back into disarray. I decided it was time for a factory reset to see if that would provide a lasting fix. Unfortunately, that relief was short-lived; mere hours later, the issue returned.

In the wake of these frustrations, I resorted to running various malware detection programs, but these scans didn’t yield any results. Feeling defeated, I recognized that a clean wipe of my system was probably the only viable option left.
