    Command prompt opens at Windows 10 startup

    I noticed a command prompt window (or more than one?) flashes open at Windows startup, but then it closes and a conhost.exe process remains in Task Manager.

    I hope this is normal and it is not some malicious process opening it.

    Any insights much appreciated.

    Please download the FRST 32 bit or FRST 64bit version to suit your operating system. It is important FRST is downloaded to your desktop.
    If you are unsure if your operating system is 32 or 64 Bit please go HERE.
    Once downloaded right click the FRST desktop icon and select “Run as administrator” from the menu"
    If you receive any security warnings, or the User Account Control warning opens at any time whilst using FRST you can safely allow FRST to proceed.
    FRST will open with two dialogue boxes, accept the disclaimer.
    Then select Scan
    Frst will take a few minutes to scan your computer, and when finished will produce two log files on your desktop, FRST.txt, and Addition.txt. They will display immediately on the desktop, but can be reopened later as a notepad file.
    Please Attach the contents of these logs in your next post
