Does it happen with almost every assembly file, then will advice you to share one to confirm this on other machine.

alright i went to the advanced options and removed anything that was checked and now after unchecking all of what was checked when i open an assembly solidworks opens up like several other part and assemblies. Is there a reason that is happening?
