I've noticed that a black command prompt window pops up for a split second right after I start my Windows 11 computer. It shows something that looks like 'system32' but disappears too quick for me to read everything. I ran an Avast scan and everything came back clean. Is this behavior normal?

If you're curious about it, just search for 'system 32 keeps popping up' online. You’ll find some useful tips to investigate further without needing screenshots or anything complicated.
It's pretty common for something to run automatically during startup, so that CMD window isn't unusual. If you want to figure out what's causing it, try using a tool like Autoruns to see what's launching at boot.
Glad to hear it hasn't caused any issues! It might just be a background process doing its thing.
