I recently performed a Windows Defender offline scan on my PC, and upon rebooting, I noticed a couple of command prompts briefly opened and closed, plus something shifted in the taskbar. I just factory reset my computer using the Windows feature about a day ago due to previous malware issues, and I'm concerned this might indicate a problem again. Is this behavior typical for Windows 11?

Yeah, I think that's pretty normal! I did a clean install of Windows 11 a few days ago, and I saw a couple of CMD prompts pop up after I installed some updates. If you're worried, you can check the Event Viewer for any related logs. Just search for 'Event Viewer' in your start menu and follow the steps to look for process creation events.
After a reset, seeing those prompts might just be Windows doing its thing. But if you're still feeling uneasy about malware, running a full scan with an additional antivirus can help put your mind at ease. Just keep monitoring things and trust your instincts!
I agree with TechieTommy, those command prompts can pop up during various updates or system checks. It's a good idea to keep an eye on your system, especially after a factory reset. Make sure to check your Event Viewer if you're curious about what those prompts were doing. Just be cautious and have your data backed up.
