CMD pop ups every so often. EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

[Kemeky]

I have not seen the name of the command prompt pop-ups because it is only there for a split second, 2-3 happen on startup usually, and there is usually 1-2 popping up throughout the day, i was playing a game in this time and when it popped up it minimized my game but the cmd prompt lasted for like a millisecond after it minimized my game. Is this malware and even if it is not how can I stop this? For the past week also if i play games it minimizes it which annoys me a lot. It also pops-up so quickly that I cant even read it before it closes itself

It is not malware according to a user on Malware Tips. This is our conversation https://malwaretips.com/threads/cmd-opening-and-closing.61643/

Please help me it annoys me in fast paced game and I get minimized until I bring it back up which could mean life or death, in the game.

Erm, well since you haven't saw what it says in the popup, it is hard to say.
But lets see, have you checked schedule tasks ? I had the same annoying popup, because of MS Sql updating everyday.

Nope, thats not it either. Sadly.

Try screen shotting it.

How would I go about screenshotting it? The popup only last a couple milliseconds.

Its not in scheduled tasks ? Are you sure ?
You could check event log, right after it happens, to see what processes have been called and maybe see it from there.

If you could record the time of it, perhaps you could track it down in the event viewer.

Well he says it happens on startup, that's the easiest way to re-invoke it.
I guess its either some auto update service or something in the scheduled tasks.

It happened at 12:00 it seems, could not really find anything in event viewer, if it happens again I will look at task scheduler and event viewer again see see the exact time, I did delete one scheduled task which last ran at 12:00 of today, I will keep you updated with what happens next.

Have you ever found a solution to this? This also happens to me. I can't quite catch what it says as whenever it pops up, it catches me off guard.. Sometimes there's nothing at all that's written. But it's so sporadic that I can get 2 within a few minutes, sometimes none in a few hours.

This happened when I installed windows 10.
