Suspicious tasks?

Hello!

I had a command prompt or a Powershell pop up but I didn't notice what it actually said. I opened Powershell and ran a script to pull up tasks from another question I saw on here, and it showed the following:

Do any of these tasks look suspicious? The window popped up around the time of the DmClientOnScenarioDownload task; it might be that, and I read that that task is normal, but do any others need attention? Thanks!

    Did the terminal window only pop once, or is this a regular occurrence, and does it happen when you start your PC or as you are using your PC?

    When the file downloads, unzip it.

    Run Autoruns64 as Administrator

    Select the 'Logon' tab at the top of Autoruns.

    Please provide a screenshot of all entries on that tab.
