Will this help me ID the offending task that opens up the random pop up window? Like if it showed the last “ran” task, I could match it to when the pop occurs…

Where do I disable them? From what list in Task Scheduler or am I using a different program now?

A random pop up shows up in Windows. It’s a windowed pop up, with a Blue screen as the background. It’s doesn’t look like a command prompt since the background is a blank blue background (with no writing) but I’ve heard of people having had random command prompts window pop up like this before...

It’s a computer with lots of RGB, so I figured letting it sleep would save me some power even if it wasn’t doing anything. In my past build I never slept my computer and it was always running fine. My computer sleeps when idle for 2 hours. Would task scheduler still show what’s scheduled to be...

To add to my last reply, I downloaded Western Digital Dashboard program just now and it said the firmware is up to date for my SN770 drives. Running a SMART diagnostic on it right now through the dashboard program, no problems being detected. Really at a loss here as to what’s causing my...

AsRock Steel Legend Z690 Non-Wifi Version Could only find this in the bios “UEFI Version: Z690 Steel Legend 6.03” Is that the Bios version? I have two WD black M.2 SN770 installed. Both are new and still under warranty. One is used as boot drive (the one that keeps failing) and the other as...

Newish computer built within the year. No issues with the build, PC has been running fine. Last week, when I went to check my computer in the morning, the computer showed a blue screen saying it didn’t restart properly. I never initiated a restart, the computer should have been in Sleep Mode...

Can't check task manager as it is hanging at the restart screen. Anyone else with ideas?

Wasn't an updating issue. My computer is recently built. Waited 15 minutes. Its definitely not a Windows Update thing. I'm guessing a program is causing it to hang and not restart. How to identify this program, no idea. Anyone out there have some ideas for me.

When I go to restart my computer, the windows restarting screen and animation hangs forever. The animation logo just keeps spinning and spinning and it doesn't restart. I'm forced to press the restart button on my computer to force the restart. This problem only started happening in the last 2...

I just got a nice new 1440P IPS display. I want to stretch its legs. I was wondering if there was a wallpaper app that would automatically show/download new wallpapers daily or weekly or whatever. Anyone know of a program like this? One that works well.

This sounds exactly like my issue I'm having with GTX 980. Bios screen loads and displays, then windows loading screen shows, then blank screen. On board graphics and different monitors do the same thing. I've tried over 10 different things including the things you tried and found no...

Just did some more troubleshooting, here's what I've tried now: 1) Cleared CMOS 2) Updated to latest MOBO Bios 3) Tried UEFI PCI OP ROM and Legacy OP Rom options in Bios 4) Tried disabling Intel Graphics in Bios 5) Tried 3 different versions of Nvidia Graphics Drivers. Reinstalling and...
