A lot of CMD processes in task manager

[frase]

I turned system on today and was running slow, checked system process and had about 20 CMD processes, WTF? I think maybe n&p time. Issue is I cannot backup my data either. As apps wont run properly, aps always hang.

8-10 "Console Window Host" elements in the process list is pretty normal. I'd be looking at the SSD honestly.

If you enable the command column in task manager, you can probably get a better idea what they are doing

Why not boot a PE to backup the data?

I used uvk and seemed to get rid of them. I will see tommorow if they propagate again. Didnt even think that @Larry Sabo
Will do, I am not thinking clearly atm as am unwell. There was around 20 cmd background processes, which is unusual.

Attempting backup now, then going to have to N&P as I have no idea.

"If you enable the command column in task manager, you can probably get a better idea what they are doing"

I did that did not really give any relevant info either and makes no sense to me either

States something about

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /d/s/c "wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2 PATH Win32_PerfRawData_Tcpip_networkinterface get BytesReceivedPersec, BytesSentPersec"

I ended up nuking it, could not figure it out managed to back data up as well. Thanks all.
