    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig. When the System Configuration Tool loads, click on the "Startup" tab, then see if " c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" is listed there.. If so, UNCHECK the box next to it, click on "Apply", then restart the machine

    Just to be on the safe side I would check for malware

    Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
    Update it immediately.
    Do a full system scan
    Let us know the results at the end.

    Hi,

    How is the current situation?

    It seems like you set some startup script or schedule task to run this. You could run AutoRuns utility to find out what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login:

    Autoruns for Windows

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    In addition, located to that directory to check if this applet is missing.
