    If it’s constantly running and not closing, it can sometimes be a sign of something weird or just a glitch. Since you checked for malware and found nothing, it’s probably just a bug or a background process that’s stuck.

    The "OOBE Broker" process is related to Windows' Out-Of-Box Experience, typically running during system setup. If it runs constantly without closing, it could be due to a system configuration issue or a bug. Here are a few steps to resolve it:

    Restart your PC.
    Check for Windows updates.
    Run sfc /scannow to repair system files.
    Investigate Windows Task Scheduler for any related tasks.
    Perform a clean boot to identify conflicting background apps.
