Windows 10: Windows installer random popup.

I reset my computer a week ago because of a crash that caused it to run a lot slower than it had before. Recently, I have been seeing command prompt pop up randomly on my screen for around a second. All I could read out of the window's name was "Windows Installer" before it closed quickly. Could this be a result of a virus or is it normal?

Random Popups Windows 10

Hi Microsoft,

As the title suggested, I am currently encountering the issue where random popups occurred. It would seems like it was a command prompt and it randomly appeared and closes immediately. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

 

random popups on every website

I had a whole host of these borderline-malware PUPs last year with my initial 4160/R7 265/SG08 setup. It wasn't hard to identify the culprit(s) in the Programs and Features list but the uninstalling part is always a pain in the ass. The uninstallers always have a billion goddamn steps, with each step proposing that you install another PUP (obviously with a MASSIVE "install" button and a tiny light grey "DECLINE" in the corner of the window).

This may or may not be the same kind of software but other than the program installing its own programs upon uninstallation, everything is not too bad to manage. Sometimes you get a software offer that doesn't appear to give you a way out (i.e. uninstallation/decline/"No, don't install"); you just have to take all the time you need and search for a way out.

Beware that not being careful while uninstalling these programs may lead to exponential increase of unwanted malware/software. The good thing is that most of these programs are not actually malicious aside from the fact that they are supremely irritating.

PS: I know that the unwanted behaviour seems to revolve around Chrome; I had a similar issue as well and thought it was extension-related. Evidently it was actually a program.
