    I use Windows 11. Sometimes, an empty black screen labelled "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" repeatedly opens and then instantly closes itself. This always happens shortly 7-10 seconds after the computer boots up and sometimes happens when the computer is unlocked from sleep mode.I have tried:Scanning for viruses Malwarebytes couldn't find anything.Pressing Ctrl-R and typing in "shell:startup". This opens user/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup, which is apparently supposed to show a list of startup programs but is completely empty.Going into Task Manager -> St

    Cmd instantly closes

    So my cmd instantly closes.

    That is because you have an Autoruns key in there which is starting explorer and then exiting.

    That key seems to be there because something else is broken and explorer is not starting when you log on.

    Note that the key is not required for normal operation of Windows.

    You need to fix explorer first and then remove the Autoruns key.

    To fix explorer:

    • Run regedt32
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
    • On the right side, there should be a value called Shell.
    • In the right hand side pane, make sure that the default string value of Shell is explorer.exe.
    • Save any changes
    • Log off and log on again.

    Source Windows explorer.exe does not start or open at startup

    CMD keeps popping up and closing instantly

    Hi, I updated my computer to Windows 11 recently, and I updated everything in my PC. But my cmd is popping up and closing instantly, and it disturbs me. Is there any way to fix it?. I saw some threads in this site but unfortunately I do not have the same bug as I saw.
    My cmd shows me:

    Cannot access file C:\Program Files\DriverSetupUtility\FUB\+ (multiple times).

    Thanks in advance.
