Random CMD window pop up for a split second

agnes · 27 May 2017 at 15:30

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

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!

Have you got Microsoft Office?

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

Disable!

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

Stupid MS!
