Backgroundtaskhost.exe and Backgroundtransferhost.exe Open/Close Issue
Hello. For two days now, Backgroundtaskhost.exe and Backgroundtransferhost.exe have been opening and closing instantly and constantly in the background. Command lines are:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\backgroundTaskHost.exe" -ServerName:App.AppXmtcan0h2tfbfy7k9kn8hbxb6dmzz1zh0.mca" (Doesn't change)
"BackgroundTransferHost.exe" -ServerName:BackgroundTransferHost.1" (Doesn't change)
I have run updates, scanned for viruses using MBAM and Windows Defender, used the DISM image tool to repair and clean, and tried sfc /scannow. Nothing stops them from this behavior. I am at the end of my troubleshooting ability.
Since I have a sound for program open and close program, I need the sound cues to alert me to background activity, it has begun to drive me crazy trying to figure out why this is happening. I was asleep and the computer was idle when it started, and I have made no changes to the computer for weeks. I use it to play games for the most part.
ANY and all help is welcome.
