    Line 31 contains the code to run this file:

    C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Updates\Windows.bat

    Since that Batch file is missing (probably deleted by your antimalware app), the script encounters error 2 ("file not found").

    BTW, I suppose you've followed the steps given by Dave in this thread to clear the error during startup.

    I have a similar problem and this is the content of the notepad.exe when I ran the command above.
