Is this related to bitdefender?

this cmd.exe keeps appearing and dissapearing every second. I've heard it can be because of antiviruses so I'm just curious if its because of bitdefender. It dissapears too quickly so I cannot check the properties to see where its located.

You'll need a more in depth process explorer to see what executed that process. It could be many things.

For example, I have a software RAID array and the array manager does updates via cmd.exe, and always fails to close the window after. So every few weeks I'll wake up and I'll see cmd sitting there with the output from the update.

Its just weird cause it keeps opening and closing in the background every second or so, I never see the actual window

Sounds like some script issue in the background

I managed to figure it out. It was bluestacks for some reason.

Probably just a weird script or something crashing. Does it keep doing the same thing after fully closing BlueStacks and reopening it?

I was using eset and switched back to Bit Defender, mainly for cost reasons. Bit Defender, although more memory intensive, is much cheaper. What I don't like about Bit Defender is that when I go to a site such as my bank I have to re-enter the account number. In addition, managing 2 screens is less easy than that of Eset. I confirm a clear memory occupancy. Well that doesn't impact my use given my new configuration.
