    Quick CMD-Prompt pops up and disappears - Related to Activation Key..?


    Noticed when I install a fresh copy of Windows 10 Creators Update and don't have the computer connected to the network / internet...

    When the PC starts and logs in to the desktop I notice one or sometimes two CMD Prompt-like Windows quickly appear and disappear on the screen. (They flash up and disappear near-instantaneously).

    Is this related to Windows Product Key authentication?

    Just need someone who has the knowledge or time to confirm this on a fresh install to give their advice.

    Simply trying to rule out malware which might have been installed when I was away from the computer.

    :)

    "winupdater.exe" CMD Prompt Pop-Up

    Today, I started getting a command prompt pop-up. It opens up and immediately closes. It's kinda annoying when I'm playing games because it messes me up. However, the name of the CMD Prompt is, "winupdater.exe".

    Please help!

    Are cmd prompts the same on windows 10 as they are in 8

    Hi Marcus,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    Yes, the command prompt in Windows 10 is same as Windows 8. You can open the Command prompt by following methods.

    • Press Windows key + X and click on Command prompt.
    (OR)

    • Press Windows Key + X and click on Command prompt (admin) to open
      cmd with admin privileges.
    (OR)

    • Press Windows key + R, type cmd and hit
      Enter      .

    Please let us know if you are facing any issues with the command prompt. We'll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
