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.

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
