I don't know what it is, but every now and again, i'd say every few hours, something on my pc is tabbing me out of games and launching what looks like command prompt. It flashes up so quickly, less than a second, I can't tell what it is. Any ideas on how I can go about discovering what this is? It happens at in some incredibly annoying times, like trying to clutch in csgo or when someone is near me on PUBG.
 
Lot of people complaining of this since the recent Windows update patches due to the wannacry malware (some also seem to get it after the creators update to Windows 10) - if you look in task scheduler you might find something there that is doing it.
 
I did look in task scheduler after I posted this message and I couldn't see anything under last run that lined up with the time it happened so not really sure what it is. I am running RogueKiller and it found a few things that I have removed and rebooted from, one of them was
ZeroAccess (Sirefef). Going to try doing it again. Hitman Pro removed a few things, nothing of concern there though really.
 
Give AdwCleaner a run too.

Also check with CCleaner for scheduled tasks. You can find them in Tools > Startup > Scheduled Tasks tab.
