!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Ah yes, Windows...
Not only for viruses, I saw legitimate software creating those console windows to run.
Good spyware doesnt show those either, they're not a sign of malware but of sloppy coding.
Not always. Having spent significant time of the entire projects to hide console and powershell windows, I think Windows is just crap.
Yes, there was a good cli-tool for this, until it didn't work anymore.
A tool for this...
Running a program by another program without interrupting user should be a basic feature of an OS!
You would probably love Oberon.
I'm pretty sure some drivers do that
My work PC does it on boot. Opens and then closes like 8 command windows.
Well that probably is malware but installed by your company
Just look into journal and logs what processes were started by a terminal window...
Oh... Right.
Startup scripts most likely. A sign of a bunch of legacy tech in your environment.
