Troubleshoot Cmd opening and closing

[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.

this does not sound like malware to me.
it is more likely some kind of software or driver incompatiblity.
check your device manager and expand the various categories and look for a driver that is marked as a problem

Nope, it's not my drivers.

Check to see if any hidden malware has infected any USB drives connected to the PC. It's highly unlikely though that you have malware present on your system the man himself @TwinHeadedEagle took a look at your system. If it's a driver/service problem then perform a clean boot to properly diagnose its source. Run an elevated command prompt window and paste this command 'sfc /scannow' this will check if any system files are corrupted. Make sure everything on your PC is up-to-date as it may be a bug in a program you have installed, i recommend using FileHippo AppManager or PatchMyPC. Other then that the only way to ensure that this is 100% fixed would be to reformat your harddrive and reinstall windows.

EDIT: Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), uninstall and reinstall your Nvidia Drivers.

I believe Covert Pro could be of help in these scenarios won't you think? I would love to play with it lol

if you have a PC from a particular brand, such as dell, asus, etc, you could seek out their support.

you might be getting a windows run-once process that is calling cmd.exe, and the command line is failing, so it runs over and over again. Windows Defender can trigger such processes, it happened to me this morning. Make Windows Defender permanently disabled and see if that helps. Just an idea.

I assume that this problem will show up in the windows log.
look at the logs or find someone who can.

Nope, I still have the cmd pop-ups.

might be time to reinstall windows...
but just make sure your model actually supports win10, some older computers do not, and it ends up with weird and unpredictable problems that don't always appear right away.
