OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration command prompt window annoyance
Hello all, We were trying to figure out for a long time why we were getting a random command prompt box pop up while working throughout the day. We finally narrowed it down to a scheduled task ...
Did you understand what I meant by editing the scheduled task and changing the conditions? This will get rid of the box from running while your actively using the computer. It's in Scheduled tasks under the Microsoft / Office folder. You can edit the job, however anytime Office updates you got to go update again apparently.
Yes! :-)
The computer reinstall was a week or two ago, so long before I found out it was a scheduled task... and it was only this morning I too pointed it to OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration. So for now I can ignore the blinking of the command prompt every hour, as I know it's just a thing from Office.
Hope Microsoft fixes it soon.
(and when I'm going to do a presentation, I will use your solution to turn it off. But I'm not going to do it for now, when I need to redo it with every Office update)
