Problem in running a pendrive
My Dell Intel i3 laptop says that
"There was a problem starting \\\\\\\\\\\@~%@%@~%~%@~@~~~,1 The specified module could not be found "
This was stated in My PC when I inserted a pendrive and tried to open the folder to view the documents and images in the pendrive. Please help resolve.

Whats in that pen drive.
Why is there a shortcut of Pendrive within a pen drive.
Why is it trying to run a DLL when you are opening it.
Seems infected to me
If you don't have any data on it, format that Drive.

It does look like malware -- the drive AND the system need a deep scan with Defender or Malwarebytes.

Just format it
As per the snapshot you have shared there is nothing in the drive.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Sundarraj.R
Something like this happens to me once or twice a month.
I have multiple pen drives that I use on a daily basis.
Every once in a while I will pull the drive from my laptop without "Safely Removing" the drive first.
I would rush over to the laptop I was going to work on and @@@@?///?????:???
Now most of the time I could go back to my laptop reinstall the USB flash drive then do a "Safe Removal" and the information would be there.
Then I would do the "Safe Removal" and be on my way.
But then again there was a few times I had to format and reload the files I needed.
What I'm trying to say is if the drive was removed without "Safe Removal" it could have been corrupted.
Best regards,
U2
NOTE:
No matter what the "Policy" is set at, It can still happen.
