Everytime I connect to our remote desktop it opens command prompt?

This is a minor concern but it's bugging me. We have a remote desktop to another central computer, but for some reason every time I connect to that desktop it also opens command prompt on it. Just a blank command prompt screen.

It's not someone else loading it, I can close remote and then immediately reopen it - BAM Command prompt in the way.

It's simple to close it and continue working but why is this even happening? Is there a way to prevent it from doing this?

    1. Startup Folder: There might be a shortcut to Command Prompt in the startup folder of the user account you are logging into.
    2. Scheduled Task: A scheduled task might be configured to open Command Prompt upon login.
    3. Group Policy: A group policy setting might be causing the Command Prompt to open.
    4. Registry Setting: There might be a registry setting configured to open Command Prompt on login.
    5. Remote Desktop Session Startup Program: There might be a startup program configured specifically for remote desktop sessions.
