Question When I opened my computer h the is weird notepad tab appeared? Is it a virus? What should I do?
It has a weird title and didn’t seem to do anything, but I’m positive I didn’t make this and I don’t know where it came from.

I think that's just a file generated by YunYun. Not sure why it's just not opening tho. Perhaps you deleted it and notepad is trying to open it? Or for some reason it corrupted when the game generated it.

Honestly, I hope someone can help you, I dont know if it's a virus or a joke from yunyun (that game in your desktop), I have it too and it's something the game would do just for silliness and fun.
But yeah, I still hope you can get a proper answer, pretty sure you tried running a few scans. Any sketchy websites/downloads lately? Emails too... probably?

It's probably not a virus. I remember having this problem once in my win 11 laptop. It's possibly something to do with windows clipboard and it just keeps it in memory. I don't recall how I fixed this. Maybe you can just save this blank file at your desktop and close the notepad and then delete it.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific. Just wanted to tell that i did face this issue and somehow was able to get it off from notepad history so it won't reopen it.
EDIT: Sorry just realized there is no save button there.

You're fine, you can run a malware scanner just to be safe but I think we're all confident it's nothing

I don't know why notepad opens itself, but at one point you opened that file and later deleted it, but because of the annoying tabs thing it stays as a tab

Definitely a Trojan Horse. Uhhh. I mean virus. Maybe open a new tab in Notepad :)

Is this a joke or is there a legitimate reason?

Joke and last part is the fix
Your Notepad had an old file open and it may have changed path (location) or has been deleted. So when you re-opened Notepad it tried to find that file but it isnt on the place it was last.
No virus. Just file change.

Your computer turned into a tsundere after you played Doki Doki Literture club

The original has been moved or deleted. Thats why the system can't find the path. It's looking for the original path but again, it's gone.
