Ask HN: Why do all my Win10 devices popup random CMDs
I have a Win10 PC and a laptop and both of them are popping up CMDs (usually two at one time) once logged in. This has been going on for a while and my antivirus(es) cannot detect anything. The CMDs also come and go so quickly there isn't enough time to read what it says or to take a screenshot. I've also seen this happening on some of our school's laptops. What to do and should I be worried?
- Someone 10y agoCould be anything, but probably is nothing to worry about. For example, for the school laptops, they could mount a shared drive. Get Autoruns (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.as...), and check what gets run on login.

- mimsee 10y agoUnticking Windows Media Player solved it. No more CMDs on boot. Thanks!
