Getting old. Haven't used or had XP for years. I thought hat option was part of the UAC that started with Win 7? I never used it in XP.
So back in the days I used XP I never installed the new version, 2019, over the old version, say 2018. I always did a new install. A lot did it this way some didn't. I agree with Jim. Somehow corrupt if return to factory didn't help.
BTW XP machine. How full is your hard drive?
