Background Program

started this in malware forum, after runnin all the programs from read/run me first list and posting logs the TimW the malware tech reviewed them, told me everything looks good, try the software forum

so here is the problem,
last October i had a hard drive fail, got new drive (optical 500g) paired with a 2 tera drive and reloaded windows 7 ult 64. sometime in December i started noticing a weird background program, it would pop up as a dos type window and go away in like half a sec. to fast to see what it was. i also realized (playing games) that if i was in a full screen program it would drop me to desktop. this happens every 10 min or so the entire time the pc is on.
in the last week i have upgraded to win 10 pro. everything looks fine, everything runs fine, but i am still having this program pop up and disappear every 10 min or so the entire time pc is on

i looked thru task manager, didn't see anything, set it for last hour, let it run awhile, watched the background program pop up and go away checked task manager it did not have any actions in last hour

did the read/run first stuff for anti malware and have full scan clean logs from antispyware, malwarebytes, adw, roguekiller.

so i am asking if anyone knows how to find out whats up and hopefully either fix the problem or delete the problem, lol

 

appending that on startup the only item i have is my nec electronics usb3.0 controller. period, nothing else
tho by looking at task manager i see that there are A LOT of things going on in background but i don't know what to look for in the 42 background processes

 

I would bet there is a lot more than your usb controller running at startup. Ms's autoruns program will show many drivers for audio or sound or IE ad-ons ect that start when you boot. In the article is also a link to process explorer, which can show you many of the things running on your pc. Some you will probably recognize while others may require a little investigating. Something(s) in one of these two areas are probably causing the dos box you're getting.
