It’s safe and not a virus. However, some users find that User OOBE Broker is running in the background and cause high CPU issue

So it's normal for it to keep running after startup and stuff?

It's not causing any problems but not sure if it's normal.

User OOBE Broker is a process associated with the Windows operating system, specifically related to the Out of Box Experience (OOBE). It is designed to manage the initial setup and configuration of a Windows device, guiding users through the setup process, connecting to networks, and configuring system settings.7 This process is typically active during the initial setup of a new Windows installation or after certain updates.

However, some users have reported that the User OOBE Broker process continues to run in the background even after the initial setup, which can sometimes cause high CPU usage. If you encounter this issue, you can try disabling it via Task Manager.

Well, I'm asking if it's normal or not

Yes it is normal..

Thank you for an actual answer, I was worried seeing it all the time but now I can rest well.

What's abnormal is if the process is consuming high CPU for a long time. There have been previous Windows bugs where that's happened, but it's not been a recent thing.

It just always runs, never closes but it dosent take up any cpu, only 1.4mb of memory

There's a number of "broker" processes, which handle requests for access to protected Windows resources. They run on behalf of other user-owned processes which don't have the same level of security clearance. When there's nothing to do (which is 99% of the time), they're idle and take little CPU or memory overhead.
