Randomly, and seemingly for no reason, a generic Windows message box will pop up saying there is no default mail client installed. I click OK and the message box goes away for several hours until it decides to come back. While the message box is active the process running in Task Manager is called "COM Surrogate (32 bit)" but I can't tell what started it, where it's coming from, or how to stop it.

It could be malware, trying to use the PC to send spam. Have you performed a thorough AV scan, not only with your normal AV suite, but also using a stand-alone tool such as MalwareBytes or Kaspersky online scanner?– DrMoishe PippikCommented Mar 27, 2019 at 22:59
