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.

    Most likely an app updater written by someone who is too lazy to make their updater hidden.

    As others suggested, look in task scheduler, but make sure you run it elevated. Focus on any updater that’s calling an app from a bat file, and move out from there.

        Guilty as charged. At least in my case the updater is always started by the app, and when it’s done it starts the app again
