You would format if you were smart or cared. Instead you will just beat off and fall asleep tonight.

Would you also recommend burning down your home if you found a roach in your kitchen?

Haha this happened to me the other day, knocking the box with my neckbeard knee and the CPU starts going full reactor speed lol.

What exactly causes this? I know its malware, but why can't the program just do it in the background? Why does it need to pop up for a split second?

>I know its malware, but why can't the program just do it in the background?
Not always. Well actually, I take that back.

Can't you use event viewer to figure out what it is ??

How is the CLI popping up a sign of malware? For games, its more efficient to just open the CLI for a quick line instead of having to open up another separate exe to just complete one task.

Do people still associate the command line with hacking? Fuck is this 2012 still?

>programs stopping computer from powering off

Every single time. Why the fuck do they do this?

This.

It's most probably the windows updater user. Unless you are an idiot and some how got your of infected in fucking 2017

>accidentally skip some dialogue with no way to repeat it
Looks like its time to delete the same s start over.

It's usually analytics. Very few game devs actually care about piracy. Our studio actively goes against publishers in making it easier to crack our stuff.

Anyways, analytics are useful to devs to find bugs, balance issues, that kind of thing. Needs to get through firewall sometimes

Well since im here, Is it normal for a cracked game to install Steam?

I just got a new PC and I do not remember installing or downloading steam at all.

My system keeps tabbing into the desktop, even if I'm in a full-screened game approx. once a day. Whenever it happens, it always happens twice, with a 10 second(ish) delay.

What can I do to troubleshoot before resorting to reformat? Google gives me absolutely nothing.

Come to think of it this would happen on my Windows 7 build before it rekt itself. Happened for a couple weeks before I got a few blue screens and finally enough of a corrupted OS it died. GL OP.

Yeah. Although I'm not a big tech guy who can cover all his bases but I did do most of the basic shit like that. I really can't find what's doing it.

Your fault for using Windows 10

Why would you go out of your way for that

> svchost.exe

If it opens and closes immediately that means it exited. You should be more worried if it stays open for any length of time.

I'm on Windows 7, good friend. Fuck W10.

Idk that sounds annoying and kinda spooky if it's happening at certain intervals or times. Double check permissions and processes when it happens. Screenshot your normal load and as soon as it tabs you screenshot that shit again or something. I'd reformat that bitch.

>The screen freezes
>constant half second sound playing over and over

I used to have something similar, but it's gone now for some reason. I guess it was some auto updater, maybe even Nvidia looking for drivers

Use Autoruns, it'll tell you anything that launches automatically, turn off everything that is absolutely not necessary. Then turn off some extra shit if you want.

>game freezes
>try to close it and everything disappears from the desktop

Tried to check processes when it's happening, but you know how it is, Task Manager has 8 billion counts of
>svchost.exe
and whatnot, so it's hard to spot anything out of the ordinary. No CPU/RAM anomalies when it happens, though.

That's what I've been thinking. I have AMD, and although I still prefer their hardware, their drivers these days are pretty fucking awful.

My friend has the same exact problem, but he's on W10. Minimized to desktop randomly, always repeats once after several seconds. He's got Nvidia though, so probably not the GPU drivers, then. No clue what does it.

3 weeks and the cunts wont give me an answer or a refund.

Computers spook me out. Don't know why, they always have since I was a kid. They're so fucking fragile and people don't know basic shit about them. Imagine if everyone who drove their car didn't know how to fill up their gas or knew they needed oil changes. That's like 3 billion people worldwide.

Isn't that shit like day 1 basic IT maintenance?

Daily backups, even twice daily if it can be done. Shadowsaves (i think thats the term) for minor fuck ups so people can restore lost work if they manage to save over an important file. Niggas should be in panic mode, worst case scenario is that you lose a day of work.

We getting hyperhaxed, I guess.

You can usually just google and download the exact files missing when that happens. Usually.

Why yes it is basic shit - so basic in fact, people just assume they work fine and ignore it and never test, or are actual full retards who don't bother updating to newer stuff for better backups.

Just within the past few years, the tech for backups have gotten astronomically better. Instead of simple 2 week retention of a once a day backup, you can easily do hourly backups for the span of over a year for the same kind of storage. For those willing to pay big bucks there's other stuff that can back up and replicate offsite every 15 seconds. Shits cool yo.

reminds me of Just Cause 3

Whew, lad. Always keep your main E-mail account secure with phone-identification and linked to a back-up E-mail, folks.

Your fault for using Windows Update then

I wish I could afford college. IT seems like the most piss-easy & comfy field to get into. I probably have half the skillset for it to already.

sure kiddo

I have that turned off, too.

No idea, guess it happens more than people realize. Also:

Never again.

I still worry, but nothing bad has happened yet

You don't need college. Certifications is all you need. Go to school part-time, knock out a cert, maybe look into doing a few online, and you'll have your foot in the door. College is the biggest meme; it's only needed if you go into a hard-science imo. IT is blue collar sector of white-collar jobs.

You should probably write a small program that logs newly created process and window activations then

It turned out that the S7 has shortcuts to open the camera and switch the camera mode. All of them on the home button.

I restored my phone to factory defaults that night.
