    1. A few Command Prompts have a tendency of popping up and closing, usually after a few minutes of using the desktop, it's semi frequent (meaning sometimes the prompts show up near the beginning of using the desktop, sometimes there's no command prompts at all), not sure if it's anything to do with Steam or the browser. I use Firefox.

    2. When using youtube, i've noticed that when clicking play some black text briefly shows up in the video before it starts to play

    3. I've noticed lately my browser has gotten sluggish, but not sure if this is anything.


    For the command prompts that show up for an instant, i've ran the free malware bytes on safe mode and it picked up nothing

    I'm not sure if any of these 3 issues actually mean anything, but i've decided to rely on a professional more than a scanner atm
