Command prompt opens and closes.

Okay sir. Just noticed this recently. My icons in the task bar will disappear and reappear quickly and I don't suspect malware is the problem. What could be the problem in this?

this sometimes happens when there is a background process running that uses a lot of system resources. For instance, a windows update.
It's usually not something you can do anything about, except for upgrading your system to higher specs, such as using an SSD instead of a regular hard drive.

This usually happens when explorer.exe process is restarted.
As @shmu26 says, background activity may be the cause.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say its telemetry sending or collecting data. Everytime it happens to my machine and I check the time and go look into the diagnosis folder, and about 70% of the time, it telemetry doing it job or some background task, one that constanly gives me issue or high Cpu usage is backgroundtaskupload task.

Wild Guess, =) only....
