ipconfig window keeps popping every 30s !!!!!!

[gecko43]

hey there , 

today since i started my laptop a black window which at first looked like cmd kept popping frequently . At first i was terrified thinking that it was a virus or something similar . 

So i started screen capture software  and found out that the window read "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipconfig.exe"(check the image) . What is it ? And why is it happening? Is it something serious?How do i fix it??

Please help because its freaking me out !!

No, its not serious. Ipconfig is a windows tool that prints out all network data to the console. It closes automatically when its finished. I dont know why its being called every 30 seconds though.

 

 

EDIT - Did some more research, seems like its a bad windows install. Follow theses instuctions to fix -

but i havent had this problem before . Its just today that it started .

i used one of my friend's usb . Could it be a malicious script from his drive?

PS: i scanned it first and nothing showed up.
