I recently decided to turn off "Close Automatically" option in CMD whenever it completes an operation. Ever since then, everytime I boot up PC it shows this leftover:

Has something been trying to wipe my profiles everytime? What's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like some kind of attempt at disk cleanup: browser caches and what-not.

This didn't really help me catch what actually runs these cmd commands.

These are my current listings:

Interesting. How did you do that?

Several of my machines have one or more command prompts that briefly open at start up. For my Dell Latitude 5410 I have tracked then down to two services that are starting up. Both the service executables are command line exe files, so have to be run in a command prompt. I found them in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Yours looks like it may be a user-specific one, so you may find something in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
