Command prompt keeps opening, then running a command, and then closing again.

Happy new year everybody!

Unfortunately I have been having some trouble for the past 4-5 months when command center would randomly open itself, run a command, then close itself sometimes, other times it'll just open and stay there until I manually close it. I already scanned my computer for malware and windows defender says I am clear, and I've tried many things google told me to do to resolve the issue but the issue keeps occurring. This is super annoying because when I play games, command center would pop up, messing up my game's fully screen or popping up having my cursor on that instead of my game, or my browser. Making things so much harder than it already is. Windows command would randomly pop up, at any time. It isn't in a specific time or when I do a specific thing, it just happens by itself out of nowhere. Sometimes It'll execute a command automatically and then close itself or execute the command and leave itself like that, and I got no idea what it does. Here is that command it executes sometimes.

I have tried as much as I can to fix this issue, and I do know there is a threat of someone with a similar problem. But the solution to their problem didn't solve my issue, even though our issues are almost identical. I really hope this issue can be fixed because it makes gaming a lot harder, it makes doing other things like writing documents a lot harder due to my cursor suddenly being stuck on windows commands because it decided to pop up, forcing me to use my touch screen to close windows command. And it overall just makes using my computer 10 times harder

    Hi Q75,

    Download Autoruns from Microsoft.

    Run Autoruns as administrator and wait for the entries to populate.

    Press Ctrl + S and save the log (.ARN file) to your desktop.

    Download processes.bat and run it as administrator.

    Open the "%temp%\logs" folder.

    Please upload the Autoruns log file, p1.txt, p2.txt, and tasks.csv to your OneDrive, and share the download link here.

    After downloading processes.bat, right-click on it and click Properties. Click Unblock and click OK. Then run the batch file.

    Upload all the logs.

    Meanwhile, download Malwarebytes and run a full scan.

    Sorry for the very, very, late reply. I was able to successfully download Autoruns and I have gotten my saved Autoruns log thing as requested.

    My problem begins due to the link you shared for processes.bat. Windows says they refuse the program to run due to a high security risk and it makes me unable to run it as an administrator. With that said, I am confused on what my next step should be to resolve this issue
