Maybe it is Microsoft just spying on us (Uploading our search history and other private stuff on server) to make Windows 10 "better"

The annoying thing is whenever it pops up, it shoots you out of your game to the desktop. I've recently did a Windows update + clean install for my graphics driver which is AMD.

I've been having the exact same issue ever since I updated to the Creator's Update (just to make sure I was safe from WannaCry) It is no malware the PC is crystal clean, benchmarking shows the performance is still the same as always, every thing is "perfect" however I have this 1 second cmd poping up and out all of sudden every few hours, it freezes the game I'm on for that second and later all resumes just fine... I have no idea what this is though I am fairly sure it is due to the Creator's Update @GoodBytes knows a lot about Microsoft OS, maybe he could give us an idea?

+1 @Princess Cadence . I did the Creators Update and AMD driver. Currently recording the desktop,trying to see the what is writing in the pop up lol.

I had it before I updated

I've actually updated because of that

Command Prompt window opening and closing, is due to a software.

 

Open CCleaner (well you don't need it specifically., but it it shows everything all at the same spot), and go to Tools > Startup, and provide me a screen shot of the Startup and Task Scheduler.

 

Beside that it can be a service, as those run at startup.

Do start > type: msconfig > hit Enter. A panel will open. In there, go to Service tab, and check the box: "Hide all Microsoft services", and take a screen shot.

Well it certainly was. While i was recording it accured again and it turns out it is, officebackgroundtaskhandler.exe. Now i am removing office from my PC to see if it works.

Made an account because I had this problem too.  Let me guess, you have office installed?  

First check for a virus.  Trust me, it's unlikely but it's better to check first.

Start --> type "Powershell" run as admin. Type "Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers | select -ExpandProperty FileList | Select -ExpandProperty RemoteName"

Nothing?


Go to Start - type "Task Scheduler" Office --> OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration --> right click and disable

Office updates is causing it to run a background handler, it's dumb and is scheduled to run every hour.  Just like your event viewer is showing.  Hope this helps.

Ok I see the problem. I am having it also.

How come I didn't notice before? My Office version wasn't fully updated, until now. There is a bug in the latest version of Office which makes this appear.

Looking around under Task Scheduler, I found the item that runs it.

Look under Task Scheduler > Microsoft > Office, and you'll notice you have the following services:

•  OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerLogon
• OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration

Both of those, you can right-click and pick Disable.

 

Office suits seems to continue to work despite those things disabled. Mind you I have not tried every single feature of every Office programs to know the impact, by it seems to not affect anything crucial.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks- I did that powershell command and resulted with nothing. I had also ran malewarebytes and AVG. Nothing.
Out of curiosity, what does that powershell command do? What would it show if I had a virus?

 

I shall now do that task scheduler thing and see if that's what's acting up. Thanks! (I'll check the times aligning first though)

EDIT: Ah thank you kind sir! The time does indeed aligning EXACTLY!

Ive disabled it. It's safe right? I'm not missing out on anything with it disabled, or should I now be doing something manually?

I'll give it a couple hours or so and let ya know if that's actually fixed the pop up cmd

I am sure it is just a bug, and will be patched soon
