I’m running Windows 10.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Task Manager doesn’t show anything useful, I killed processes that might be it with no effect. Is there any way whatsoever for me to learn what is causing this and remove it? I ran a Windows Defender scan and nothing showed up.

    First place I’d look.

    Run MSConfig and see what’s running on startup.

    Turn off any services you don’t want and any programs you don’t need. I suggest hiding Microsoft services unless you’re confident, it’s easy to break something and they’re unlikely to be causing that.

      Pretty sure since 10 or 8.1 msconfig doesn’t show startup programs anymore. Easier to use task manager these days for this too since you can just Ctrl shift esc.

        Yeah that’s true. There’s a link in MSConfig to the right screen in task manger.
