Need Help - Hourly executable Pop-up ruining new build and I can't figure it out

Bug in the latest update of Office.

 

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!

Having an issue with a new computer build. The problem can be seen on this unlisted video on my youtube (0:07)

 

The computer as a fresh install doesn't do it, but i can't seem to discern when this problem occurs. I have very few things installed, but here is a list of everything in order:

Windows 10 Pro (Plus auto detected drivers, including amd drivers for gpu)
Windows 10 Updates
Winrar
Private Internet Access (VPN)
Gigabyte Drivers - Only the Realtek Audio and Realtek LAN drivers
Gigabyte Services - Includes APP Center/EasyTune/V-Tuner/System Information Viewer/ON-OFF Charge 2.0

MatLab
Office 2016
Chrome
java - 32bit
Malware Bytes 3
Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 (for recording the video)

Things I have tried: 
-Reinstalling windows (followed the same application install path and it returned occurring at a different time every hour)
-Task Scheduler: Its clean of anything happening during that time frame
-Autoruns: Nothing looked too suspicious except for some stuff under the drivers tab, WinMad, WinVerbs and ibbus from a publisher called Mellanox all have timestamps ending in the 46th minute of the hour. However I'm assuming its coincidence more than anything as the time stamps are dated way back in 2016.
-windows defender (Microsoft security essentials) Full Scan: Found No threats
-Malware Bytes 3 Threat Scan and Memory Scan: No Threats

Any help would be appreciated, as this hourly popup is driving me crazy, and shoots me back to desktop whenever in full screen activities.

Microsoft uploads private data to their servers to make Windows 10 "Better". They are spying on u.
