Windows 10: Multiple instances of Calculator App open on their own.

A few seconds after booting up my PC, the following process tree appears under services.exe: "svchost.exe/sihost.exe/CalculatorApp.exe". After a short while, the process gets supsended and remains that way for a very long time. At some point, it stars opening new calculator windows every few seconds.In case it's related, SystemSettings.exe and SearchApp.exe also pop up at a similar time after startup, only to suspend after a while and remain that way.I have a Process Monitor log file that captures the moment that CalculatorApp.exe starts after bootup with about a minute of processes padding ei

Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

So in the Processes tab, under Apps, however many Windows Explorers I actually have open is however many it will list, and expanding will list the specific folder that is open, there is no problem there. The problem is when you scroll down to Windows processes, that's where all the multiple instances are. Right now it's only showing 7 but that is because I restarted my computer a couple hours ago, I've counted as many as 40+ before.
