Troubleshoot Random Command prompt pop up and disappear

[Mauricio Ortiz]

Hi,

Issue came up and my only memory is that I updated NVidia drivers (382.33). Keeps alt tabbing me from games for just a second, pretty annoying.

Please find attached analysis reports if anyone wants to review.

Best,
M

I am having this same problem. I thought I was seeing things but it happens like every 45 mins to 1 hour? I havent updated anything and havent been to any shady sites. It pops me out of games and just is something that has never happen before.

Maybe you guys need to make a post here. Malware Removal Assistance

There are some chances that these pop up are legit. It is not the first time I've seen them, my cousing computer had a few of these. Sometimes windows task scheduler has something to do with it. It can also be malware.

I would advise you to do not use Skype as it is known to be non safe in the large run. There are some weird files under your temp folder, I'd go with Ccleaner and clean temp files. The rest looks fine, like already noted above you should go to:

Hi! Posting on this thread too in case people don't see the other one. I had the same problem- apparently it is something to do with the latest update.

I fixed it by doing the following:
Search PC for/open Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Office
You'll get a list of tasks that are scheduled to run every X minutes/hours on your computer.
One of them will have just triggered a minute ago around the time you noticed the popup ("Last Run Time")
The culprit is most likely OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration
Right click this and select "disable".


Hope this helps!

It's most likely a Microsoft Office/Word process from the looks of things, but mine was my printer software!

Hope this helps!

Great to maybe see a solution for this. Been seeing this a lot here at MT lately.

Hello people, i'm kinda having the same issue. It looks like this kind of problem happens because of some task that fails to run. I would like to know if there's some program, or some way to make that when something happens to my screen my pc auto takes a screeshot, with this i'll be able to see exactly where my problem is located.

Hope someone can help, and thaks =D

Apparently the one to disable is OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration, so try that if you can't find the exact program:

Yep, I did more research today and found out thats what it was. I disabled it.
