At the moment I have a problem with my HP laptop. I am running Windows 11 and every 1 minute or so (I am not certain if it is a regular time) a blank command prompt will open under the system32 directory. There would be no text within the prompt and the title would be the normal "cmd.exe" I cannot find any solutions to this problem. I have seen people with similar stories but slightly different directories and things. These command prompts disturb me a lot as they can stack up because they never close, they just go to the top layer every so often meaning if you open the PC after it has been in Continue reading...
