If it’s a black box(Cmd prompt) it is most likely something autoupdating in the background. AMD and Adobe usually do this pop up for me

That happens to me randomly too. Little black box I usually see out of thr corner of my eye. I don't think much of it. I know my computer is safe from viruses and whatnot. Probably just something I have running in the background.

its absolutely some malware, and its not normal to have cmd prompt popup randomly. If it happened once you are as good as infected, good luck removing it, but might need to reinstall

I recommend LTSC releases which don't have all that crap microsoft puts in normal editions btw. No ads, no stupid games, no internet explorer, no cortana etc :) far less attack surface too
