Windows 10: Processes Open Up Automatically in Task Manager

Whenever i check the Task Manager after intervals of approximately 5 minutes, the following processes are being run:


Calculator

Groove Music

Mail

Mail and Calendar Accounts

Photos

Search

Settings

Your Phone2


All of the above are marked with the green leaf on the very right This UWP process group is suspending processes to improve system performance.


Even when i end the tasks and do absolutely nothing else, they will reappear after sometime on their own. Is this a bug, normal or a virus?


I have already scanned the computer with Kaspersky, Malware Bytes etc. and found nothing suspicious.


There is also the issue of the PC not going to sleep mode as is specified in the Settings automatically or randomly waking up from it after i set it manually. Could it be a related issue?

Open Task Manager in Windows 10


[Edited for clarity 21:09 GMT]

Has anybody found out how to open Task manager when Windows starts with it already minimised to the System tray?

Opening it automatically is always a two-step process: opening it with an Admin-level TS task and then minimising it by manually clicking on its minimise button.

It does not obey any common methods when started automatically [such as adding /min -Hide or similar to the command itself] and I have not found any solution online.

It fails to respond when Windows starts to a shortcut in either Startup folder so the job has to be done with a TS task [and that task must be an Admin one].

The best I have been able to do is make it open minimised to the TaskBar so it then takes two clicks to get it minimised to the System tray [but it feels slightly more convenient than the alternatives as it leaves the desktop clear].

Any ideas?

Yes

I have obviously not been clear so I re-written my question:-

Unusual process in task manager

When I opened my task manager I noticed that under non-windows processes 'Windows Command Processor' was open. I am aware this is the cmd, but it still listed this when no cmd was open on my screen.
Further more the file location was SysWOW64 rather than the system32 folder where it opens from when I open cmd normally. Is this unusual or does the SysWOW64 version of cmd just sometimes run in the background. When I end the process it re-opens itself eventually.
I am using Windows 10 with the Anniversary update.
