They should announce a sequel to Groundhog day, and then just re-release the original.

Didn't they do that yesterday afternoon?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Like the "Thought of the Day" post?
To wit, slightly different each day, hinting at some great and important task we must undertake. Probably, doing some work instead of posting puns on CP.

Leslie, this has been reported here in the Lounge.

I spend 99.9% of my time with 2 VS2015 copies running and SSMS. Recently I have seen a dos window pop up momentarily and disappear, I suspect this could be caused by one of the myriad corporate security products installed and while it is not critical it is annoying as I lose focus on the application I am working on.
Any suggestions as to how to identify the culprit.

If there are certain things that happen just before then you can just launch Sysinternals Process Monitor just before.
After you capture a trace then you can view the process tree and look for the popup.
You should be able to tell from that what launched it.
If it is intermintent then it may be harder to catch with a small trace.
You can always filter out the execess before you save the trace file.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Here is a post I did on troubleshooting a Hex editor Using Process Monitor.
PC's Xcetra Support.[^]
Perhaps it can give you some ideas.

Thanks, that at least gives me something to start with.
The pop up seems to be completely random but I'm now tracking the timing, 3 so far today.

You could also run Process Explorer minimized to the the tray and extend the Highlight time so it will show the highlighted process that opened longer when it pops up then closes.
Then just open up process explorer and look for something highlighted as soon as it pops up.
You will still only have the time that you upped the timer to.

We have an extension that run TFS commands upon compilation, and those commands open DOS-like popup for TFS console...Maybe something alike...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Our TFS installation and usage is the most minimalist possible so I don't think it is going to be TFS.
I think I'll just bitch at the IT support peeps (IBM) and see what they come up with rather than waste my time chasing a phantom. I have enough bugs to annihilate in my own apps, besides they have loaded so much security crap on these system it may be impossible to track down.

Mycroft Holmes wrote: they have loaded so much security crap on these system it may be impossible to track down.
Their "security crap" may be spawning .vbs or .js scripts as part of some system assessment, and may be using cscript.exe (which will pop up a console window) rather than wscript.exe, which can execute silently.
Something like that anyway. Pure speculation from my part.

Good luck with that. The more the establishment tries to stop him and the media yammers on about it, the more votes he'll get.

So I came back from the pub tonight and the missus said
"you're drunk again"
I slurred "no I'm not"
She said
"It's either me or The Pub, which is it?"
I thought for awhile and replied
"It's you, I can tell by your voice."

Are you sure it's not 36002 ft?
