Random thoughts spewed in the digital realm

How do I figure out what the randomly appearing command windows are doing on Windows 10????

The best way:

In an admin PowerShell, execute this command:

Get-ScheduledTask | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo | select TaskName, TaskPath, LastRunTime | out-gridview

This shows a nice window:


Alternative: provides text file for storing:

schtasks /query /FO TABLE /v | clip

Open a command window, type the command above, then open Notepad and paste it there to see the history of command.

I learned this from this site:
