About 2 weeks ago, I started getting the windows CMD entry box popping up about every hour and this would happen in-game too forcing the game to desktop briefly. Yesterday I solved this and am now not getting any popups interrupting my gaming. Here's what I did...

1. Right click on the WIN start button and select search, enter TASK Scheduler and click the search result.

2. Expand Task Scheduler Libary then Microsoft > Office

3. Double click "OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration", its the one listed as triggering every hour

4. In the security options, next to where it says "USER", click "Change Users or Groups" and enter "System", click Ok > OK

5. Close Task Scheduler

This stops windows doing this trigger in the User domain and performs it at a lower level... More importantly, it stops those blasted popups... Hope this helps..

Had same thing happening last few days, thought it had something to do with Task Scheduler.

You mean to put System in this box marked with red rectangle?

From now on you have a follower who prays to you:p

BabylonCome, you absolute diamond, thank you for posting this.

Thanks Babs

I have been googling my ass off for a fix... THANKS!!

Did this, after 2 days had 2 additional quick popups,anyway to fix them

stop downloading naughty films?

Check other scheduled tasks to see what is triggering more than once a day plus also check apps and uninstall unwanted stuff.

I completely disabled this OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration. Lets see if that works out

Instead of disabling those tasks you can set your Office to current build instead of insider build. The insider build is the one that's currently bugged.
