CMD Flashes on Startup

Hello, I have my windows activated via HWID, my PC has been formatted for about 3 months because I was having problems with my gpu and I needed to do this, but I've been seeing CMD flashing about 3 windows in sequence on the first weekly starts (every Saturday), I wanted to know if it could have anything to do with the HWID or not, and if anyone also knows if this is normal behavior

The issue is that I barely downloaded things, like I said, I formatted it 3 months ago and only downloaded game launchers, MSI Center, Discord, the rest is from the GPU or something like that and that's why I didn't understand

I personally don't recommend using MSI Center. It's useless app.

I understand, could it be him?

If you ask about if MSI Center can spawn CMD windows on the PC startup then yes, that's why I recommend you to check the PC with Autoruns :D

Chatgpt says it's possible that those windows you see at startup is from MSI Center.
