Run the anti-malware tool to confirm the issue.

This is not related to Windows Update. I am not sure if it is from a third party application. Best bet will be to uninstall any suspected third party software which you don't need.

You may go through a Clean Boot.

Hi Kaido-p,

Did the icon appear on the desktop? When did the issue start to occur? Have you installed any third party software before this issue?

If the icon appeared on the desktop, we can uncheck the options "Hidden items" of Windows Explorer to show all the items to have a check.
Apart from this, we can take S.Sengupta`s suggestion to have a troubleshoot.

We also can use the autorun tool to check for any suspicious program.
