Random CMD window pop up for a split second

[agnes]

So, over the last week I've noticed this random flash of a cmd prompt box come up, literally a fraction of a second. I've checked all logs, nothing in the time of it happening. I've ran Malware Bytes and it's not picked anything up... Nothing dodgy happening to my PC. But something is running something and it's driving me insane.

Does anyone know of any logging software I can use that tracks ALL processes in real time for Win 10?

I might just format as my OS drive only holds my OS and drivers, all games and game client installs are on separate drives.

I've been getting this today, always at 29 minutes past the hour, after some searching online I found this in the task scheduler that was causing it OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration, the advice was to click on Change User or Group and set it to System

 

[agnes]

I'll check the time next time it happens. Cheers mate

 

[agnes]

1926, just did it. Ok, I'll try do what you said and see if it happens.

Yep, was that task that ran, changed the running user to system. If this is it mate, you get many internet cookies, this thing keeps tabbing me out of games! Someone cocked up at MS!

Noticed this a few times today myself. I've changed it to System. See if it happens at 22:02.

If only it was so easy to fix the problem I posted earlier about the wierd sound effects.

I get this as well. At least for me, it's just Bash for Windows updating packages but it doesn't happen that often.

Have you got Microsoft Office?

Start -> taskschd -> Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Office -> "OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration" (this one runs every hour).

Disable!

huh, interesting, i've been getting the same but only recently in the past couple of days.

Yaman, but can report I've not seen it since I applied the fix.

Stupid MS!

I had the same over the weekend on both my laptop and desktop. I thought it was something to do with Office but it seems to have stopped by itself now.

Does it steal focus from fullscreen applications?

A few days ago I kept having Rocket League and PUBG minimising themselves every 30 mins or so :/

Fine now.

Just noticed this today - thanks for the fix

That's me hacking your system and seeing what porn you have.

if you have windows pro and access to gpedit then can monitor dispatch of all processes
via Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy
(if it were linux I would convert command tool into a batch script that echo its excution to a log file)

That was how I noticed it, it kept minimising my games!

 

[bledd]

Seems to have gone for me, I guess Windows update fixed it..
