The popup I keep getting is a command prompt window and it barely stays on the screen for a second before it vanishes. So, I decided to create my own thread hoping maybe my situation is slightly different from others and could be an easy fix and not malicious software in my system. I found quite a few forums with my exact problem, and a lot of them scared me with people saying the system could be infected. Today, it's continued to happen and I finally looked it up on Google. For my computer it was at the 24 minute mark of every hour. I looked at my phones time and realized it was happening every hour at the same time. As I continued playing throughout the day, I kept getting tabbed out. Yesterday, while playing League of Legends, I was randomly tabbed out of the game for no reason and thought nothing of it. I'm hoping that my system hasn't been infected with anything. I should clarify first that I am not a computer expert and quite frankly have no idea what to do in this scenario. Sure enough (and it took me a LOT of tries to catch the window, it’s SO FAST), it was this dang office background task handler.Hello, I hope this is the right forum to post this in. Well I eventually had to use Xsplit Broadcaster to RECORD MY SCREEN until this thing popped up again, then replayed the video trying to pause it at the right moment to see what the program was. I looked in my programs and features under the control panel, and when I saw that two programs had updated about the same day this problem appeared – League and Microsoft Office – I had a sneaking suspicion that Office was the culprit. I’ve noticed this program instantly pop up and disappear several times a day, and not only was the popping up annoying already, it was MINIMIZING MY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS DURING MATCHES!!!!! I was *fairly* certain that this wasn’t malware or a virus as I’ve been EXTREMELY careful about those sorts of things, and windows defender hasn’t found any threats ever on my computer, even after this problem started appearing. ps1 file and if the popups return, run it. To verify from the command line, run the Query again and notice the user is now: SUCCESS: The parameters of scheduled task “\Microsoft\Office\OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration” have been changed.

Schtasks /Change /TN \Microsoft\Office\OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration /RU SYSTEM \Microsoft\Office\OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistrationĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\officebackgroundtaskhandler.exe This task initiates Office Background Task Handler, which updates relevant Office data. Since this may have to be run after every update until Microsoft permanently sets it to run under SYSTEM, you can do the following from the command line:
