Suspicious tmp.exe files needing to be blocked daily

Every day after Windows startup I see a privacy warning from my antivirus software (Trend Micro Maximum Security) that one or more new files in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp is trying to access my C: drive, as it is protected against ransom attack by the antivirus software, and offering to block it.

The files being blocked are all of a certain type, ending .tmp.exe. File properties reveal them to be "7-Zip Standalone Console" files, and are executable.
For instance:
de9f9807-308a-48bf-9311-7495c8765374.tmp.exe
cec08685-b06f-4c1d-a05c-0333f9a5ce4e.tmp.exe

Are you able to tell me what this executable is doing in the background? I am suspicious of it.
(I cannot add an exe file to this submission)

How to delete images in folder A that are duplicated in folder B?

I have a set of images in folder A

I want to find which images from folder A are also in folder B

BUT

I do not want to see a list of images that are duplicated only in folder B (there are thousands, many deliberately duplicated in different sub-folders)

Ultimately I want to delete those in folder A that are duplicated in folder B (so an automatic way of doing this would be sufficient, even if I dont see the duplicates separately listed).

Software and websites adding start-up items

Basically, I do not need ANY more start-up items added, yet certain software, apps and websites seem to find a way to put themselves in my Start Up Menu / Services without my express permission. How do I fully stop new items being added, please?

Keyboard is working intermittently

I did some tweaks using Aulogics BoostSpeed 11. My keyboard is now working intermittently, but I'm not sure what tweak may have caused that. I will be typing and it will just stop recording my keystrokes for a few seconds, so I have to wait for a few seconds until the keyboard starts responding again. I have a new HP Envy laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

p.s.: on the dropdown above for device, it gave me four options. I just selected what I think is the right one

Sound popping when playing music offline or online

Also videos like youtube or anything will glitch for a second at random for no reason. I have factory reset this PC and have not fixed it yet. I don't know if it's windows 10 or this new PC but it is quite annoying My old PC that I gave away never had this problem, but it was also windows 7. Also I don't know the device or subcategory, but I had to put something :|

Is there something stopping me from changing Windows Installer from manual?
HP Smart will not install correctly and HP Support says an antivirus or other control program has changed the settings and locked it so outside individuals can not install software on my system?

BoostSpeed PRO not activating

I purchased BoostSpeed PRO on 5 Jul (ord#

Content hidden to protect privacy
) for $29.95 as I was an existing BoostSpeed 10 customer. I cannot get the PRO version to activate. If I go to the Auslogics store and enter the new key that was provided with my purchase, I am told that I may either use the FREE version or purchase the PRO version for $59.95! I have already done this with my status as a current customer, which entitled me to the 50% discount. Why can't I get PRO to activate? There are features that won't work without the PRO version! I have a DELL XPS 8930 x64 computer with Windows 10 version 1903 installed.

Fed Up with Spotify Slowness and Bloatware

Can everyone please strongly encourage Spotify to stop making their software slow and/or highly memory-intensive?

Failing that, I suggested many years ago that they should Release a Spotify Compact or Spotify Basic software option and that option is already on their Forum for voting on
