"NaviCMD Flashes Multiple Times a Day"
Throughout the day, I've observed that the "cmd" prompt briefly appears on my screen multiple times. Despite running antivirus scans that detect no threats, I remain puzzled about the source of this mysterious activity. I am unsure whether something is attempting to install or update without my knowledge. Can anyone provide suggestions on how I can investigate the cause of these frequent cmd flashes?

- If you frequently see cmd prompts, consider using a monitoring tool that tracks command-line activity or software behavior, such as:
Process Monitor (ProcMon): A Sysinternals tool for real-time file system, Registry, and process/thread activity. Filter for cmd.exe to capture the instances when it runs. Software Updates: The device might be attempting to install updates or refresh data.
Connectivity Issues: If the device is trying to connect to a GPS or data source, intermittent connectivity could cause it to flash.
Malfunction: Hardware or software malfunctions can lead to erratic behavior, including persistent flashing.- Disable any suspicious startup programs found in Step 3, and restart your computer to ensure the changes take effect.
