Driver popups. I made the mistake of buying a razer keyboard and microsoft update itself is pushing to download their companion app each time it does an update. It's a thing, look it up. There are workarounds but they don't survive multiple rounds of updates.

I roughly followed the steps comment "NuttyX" mentioned about disabling autorun years ago and I haven't seen a Razer nag since.
Bonus: disabling autorun is better security!

I’ll try it. I followed the advice of a razer employee who messaged me on Reddit and it worked for a while.

I have a razor mouse and this has never happened to me.

Then I envy you. It’s not some big secret but it definitely happens with my keyboard. Maybe it’s loading it from the keyboard itself? Either way it only happens during windows updates
