[QUOTE="509322, post: 654450"] If it is happening once after a system restart, then that suggests a startup item or task. If it is happening multiple times during system use, then that suggests a background task. To check startup items or tasks, use CCleaner > Tools > Startup > Windows & Scheduled Tasks. Disable\Enable one by one sometimes can result in identifying which one is causing conhost.exe to flash across the screen. Sometimes uninstalled programs with startup item left behind will result in conhost.exe flashing on the screen. Checking all scheduled tasks will be a challenge, but it can be done using Task Scheduler; WIN + X > Computer Management. It's trial-and-error. [/QUOTE]
