For the last couple of days I have been getting this weird command line popup that flashes to the foreground on my monitor then closes. I have not been able to isolate what has been causing it. I thought that Cohh had a similar issue and didn't know if anyone knows how to fix it. It's super annoying since it can popup during games and takes focus.

It also happened to me since the latest Windows 10 Update KB4020102 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020102)
The flashing cmd window is caused by Microsoft Office, specifically the OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration.
Here are some reddit threads related to the occurence:

Some recommend to disable the task completely (detailed in the r/Windows10 thread), but you can also move the task from the Users group to the System group and thus leave it working (detailed in the Microsoft link).
