If you recently started noticing a Command Prompt box flashing quickly every hour on your Windows 10 computer, you should know that it's not a virus or malware trying to steal your information. It's actually a bug with Microsoft Office 365.
The anomaly is caused by two tasks, including OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration and OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerLogon that Office 365 automatically configures with the Task Scheduler on Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Office. And every time they run, they cause a window to appear quickly in the screen every hour, and every time you sign in to Windows 10. However, this is not an issue affecting everyone; it only seems to be happening for those users who are enrolled in the Fast ring of the Office Insider Program.
There is a workaround floating around the internet, but the fact is that Microsoft is aware of the bug, and it has already fixed the problem. However, the fix is included starting with build 16.0.8201.2025, which currently is only available for those who are participating in the Slow ring of the Office Insider Program.
How to stop the Command Prompt box flashing quickly
The update will eventually roll out to everyone, but if this Command Prompt box flashing quickly on the screen every hour keeps bothering you, it's possible to temporarily enroll your installation of Office 365 to the Slow ring using the following steps to address the issue:
Once you completed the steps, check for update and your Office 365 installation should now install the latest version available in the Slow ring, which includes the fix.

Windows 10 Cmd Keeps Popping Up
Cmd Pop Up Message
A few days ago I attempted to download a freeware program. I don't remember the site it was on. As I was installing it it was taking a long time and I got suspicious so I stopped it. My suspicions were correct. There was a bunch of new programs installed on my computer. Because of the amount of programs I decided to do a system restore. That got a lot of the junk off my computer. I then ran a full scan with Windows Defender and it found a trojan which I removed. I then ran a Malewarebytes premium scan and it found a bunch of stuff which I removed. I think most of the bad stuff has been removed but I am still having one issue. Every hour or so two command prompt windows will pop up one after the other for less than a second. It happens so fast that I am unable to get a screen shot from it or see if anything comes up in task manager when it happens. I did manage to see something one time when it popped up, it said bitsadmn.exe. I searched for that on google and found that it is a windows process but the file could be infected so I searched my computer for that file but it's not on my computer. I am thinking that it could be something trying to update some of those programs that were installed but I am not sure and I still want to get rid of it because if it happens while I am playing a game it causes the game to minimize for several seconds and puts it in windowed mode. I am running Windows 10 Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393 on a Lenovo Z70 laptop. This is kind of embarrassing for me because I am currently studying for my A+ certification and I can't figure this out. I appreciate any help you folks can give me.
