C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.EXE popup

[che77]

Hello for the past year I have been getting empty popups. I have ran sfc in command prompt and have gotten the 'Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations'. I only became worried once the popup logged me out (or redirected me) to my home screen.

Additional info*

If it helps solve the problem- Around December 2023 I made the mistake of leaving my laptop on sleep and LOW BATTERY (did not shut it down) for around 4 weeks. For almost the entirety of the next year (2024) my laptop would take forever to boot up and I once even got the blue screen. It would turn on then change into a black screen or it would be 'frozen' on the home screen after I logged in (note* the bottom bar would disappear when it would freeze) 

This stopped probably around November or December last year. But this year I have the popup problem. If anyone knows how to fix this annoying popup, please help   <_<

Update Windows and Drivers: Ensure that your Windows operating system and all drivers are up to date. Sometimes updates can resolve underlying issues.

Check for Malware: Run a full antivirus scan to check for malware or viruses which can cause unexpected popups and redirects.

Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to see if a background application is causing the problem. Instructions for a clean boot can be found on the Microsoft Support website.

Check Event Viewer: Use Event Viewer to look for error messages that correspond with the times you receive these popups. This might give you a clue as to what is causing the issue.

Application and System Logs: Check application logs and system logs to see if any software errors or system issues have been recorded.

Battery Health: Check your battery health to ensure it is functioning correctly after experiencing issues when on low battery and sleep mode. HP provides a battery health check tool, accessible via the HP diagnostics software.

Run HP Hardware Diagnostics: Use HP Support Assistant to run hardware diagnostics. This can help identify if there are any issues with your hardware components.

Reset Windows: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, consider resetting Windows. Make sure to back up all important files before performing a reset.  

Hope this helps!
