Looks like you have a miner installed on your system. From that command prompt it may point to its installation being broken but im not sure.

Check task manager if theres any processes from it running and the startup tab if you can locate it and disable it or use a program like Autoruns to manage startup entries.

I would personally try to look on how to remove all traces of it or if needed reinstall Windows just to be sure but thats up to you.

Check your startup programs: It's possible that Notepad is set to open automatically on startup. To check your startup programs, right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager. Then, click on the "Startup" tab and look for Notepad in the list of programs. If it's there, you can right-click on it and select "Disable" to prevent it from opening on startup.

 

Check your startup folder: Notepad may also be set to open automatically by a shortcut in your startup folder. To check this, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "shell:startup" and press Enter. This will open your startup folder. Look for any Notepad shortcuts and delete them if you find them.

 

Check your registry: It's possible that a registry key is causing Notepad to open on startup. To check this, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "regedit" and press Enter. Then, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and look for any entries related to Notepad. If you find one, right-click on it and select "Delete".

 

Check for malware: In rare cases, malware can cause programs to open automatically on startup. It's always a good idea to run a virus scan to make sure your computer is clean.
