Command Prompt Window Keeps Flashing
I have two computers of mine that keep running "system32\schtasks.exe" in a command prompt. It will appear but go away in a fraction of a second; only by capturing the frame at the right time was I able to get a screenshot of it. It launches that exe file and says "ERROR: Access is denied" even though the account is an administrator. It comes up completely randomly and I haven't been able to find out what has been causing it to run. I've tried looking for it in event viewer but with the number of tasks it has and not knowing which logs to look for I tried narrowing it down to the minute it happened, but event viewer can't load the logs cause I'm giving it to many to show at once. Is their a way I can figure out why schtasks is being launched and be able to stop it?
