Hello.

in the past few months I'm having a problem where a white window would pop up and then immediately closes. which minimizes other program's windows (mostly games). After making a screen recording i managed to screenshot the screen and see that it is a sys file named "tvaauci" located under <my user>\appdata\roaming .

does anyone know what is the purpose of this file and what can i do to fix the issue?

Thank You.
 
i indeed performed a full malware scan and it did find some misbehaving proccess and deleted them. Yet still after the scan and after restarting my pc i still get that pop up window.
 
still have that "tvaauci" in <my user>\appdata\roaming ?

That is the thing, i can't seem to find it in the specified location.
that is why i'm positive that this is indeed malware or ransom. but i just can't seem to locate where does it run, the task scheduler shows no proccess related to that file.
 
Update : I managed to find the process via autoruns, here's a screenshot :
