When i turn on my computer for the first time then start opera, a few seconds later i will see a cmd.exe window open like something is running in it, then it will close a second later.
I think this just started happening since i updated opera from 24 to 25 (web browser) a couple weeks ago. It might have been happening before then, but the program opens and closes quickly i could have just been missing it. I beleive it get launches after opera. its hard to test because it feels like sometimes there can also be a delay of dozens of seconds before i see it.
Using my camera and having the task manager open i think i caught that the name of the program is MSCORSVW.EXE, which is related to microsoft .NET (and search results on google claim its not malicious). Though those pages often complained about it taking a lot of CPU power at start up, not that it appears and dissapears rapidly.
I'm not totally sure that is whats happening or if i "found" the right program.
is there a way i could force the command prompt to stay open to see what it says? or somehow see its history? When i see it flicker open like that it makes me feel like something malicious could be happening.
