Why Does NodeJS Keep Opening and Closing on My Windows 11?

Asked by CuriousCat21
I've noticed that NodeJS is opening a clear window for just a second and then closing repeatedly. This also interrupts other applications I'm running. I can't seem to find it in the Installed Apps to uninstall or reinstall it. I'm using Windows 11, and I'm really at a loss for what to do. Any ideas?

It sounds like there might be something on your system that is using NodeJS in the background. Node is commonly used by software built on JavaScript, so check your installed apps and sort them by date to see if anything was added around the time Node was installed.

If you're unable to see Node in the Installed Apps, it might be worth checking any programs you have that could utilize it. Remember, NodeJS is a framework, so it might not show up as a standalone app. You can also check your Task Manager for any processes related to Node and see if you can identify which app is causing the issue.
