I am having this same exact problem and am in desperate need of help. I also have multiple of these files. After following what you said here is a screenshot from me after opening its file location from task manager. I also read another post under nwjs and see that someone can't adjust their brightness, and I realised I can't either. Please help me, I have no idea how to fix this issue nor am I tech savvy

April 1, 2022 - The directions that I have don't work as when I go to uninstall the app I can't as I don't technically have McAfee. This is a great way to alienate customers. ... No CCleaner did not touch it. Nor did Revo Uninstaller, nor did stopping all notifications in Edge and Chrome. I called Dell and after 3 technicians got on my computer remotely, we finally found that it was something installed by Fast Company (checked Task Manager when the popup was running), executable was named nwjs.exe.

Nwjs.exe malware - how do i get rid of it? - Archive - Norton Community
April 24, 2022 - A few weeks ago I started getting a malware popup that keeps wanting me to purchase McAfee Virus Protection software. I can easily get rid of it but it's an annoyance that should not be occurring. It seems to be the result of a "nwjs.exe" program. Need some suggestions on how to get rid of it.

r/WindowsHelp on Reddit: What is this nwjs program and how do I delete it?
April 27, 2023 -

This nwjs program appears to share a name with Nwjs.exe which is a Trojan virus, however as far as I can tell from my (admittedly limited) information these two programs are not the same. I cannot find definitive information as to whether or not this is a harmful program, however, and I have found even less information on how to safely remove it.

From what I have gathered this nwjs I am dealing with is just a javascript tool or something like that and it's ultimately harmless apart from the mental damage I get every time I see a new ad pop up. I have no idea how this got on my system, it's been on here for a good month at least I'd say.
