Anyway, it showed a lot of things with "Groove" in the name, which are
apparently a Microsoft thing. I've occasionally encountered it before -
I _think_ only in popup error boxes.

So what is it? Do I need it (especially running at start-up)? Is it
something to do with Office?

You're a man it's great to meet.
Windows 7 for ever!!!

If you'd ever looked into Win10 you wouldn't be asking this question.
