Question Some sort of virus closing my chrome windows, Anti-virus can't find it, it pops up in my toolbar

[ArtisticBatling]

Every couple of minutes, my computer will have something open in the task bar. When this happens, it closes my chrome tabs and reopens 2 new ones. I've tried three different anti-virus programs and nothing is finding it. I've seen what the icon of the program looks like enough to describe it, but not to fully render it in my mind. It shows up every 5 to 10 minutes, and it makes doing ANYTHING (scrolling through the internet, playing games, etc) a pain in my rear. I don't know what to do about this.

I tried to copy the base look of it in a picture on my art program --> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/268213856868761600/947909993376677888/unknown.png

If anyone knows what it could be or how to remove it, PLEASE let me know

only happening to chrome?

 

[ArtisticBatling]

Yes, and only the active window. If there are two windows, it only closes the one that was last pulled up (ex i have 3 windows, it will only close the one last viewed). It will then open a new window.

happening on all website or some?
test in incognito mode or turn off all extension?

 

[ArtisticBatling]

Will still close the window, but I noticed that it does not reopen in incognito

and test without extensions?
is chrome running on the latest? it is try to do update but failed?

 

[ArtisticBatling]

It's on the latest, did it with no extensions. It's not something on chrome itself, as it is something on the actual computer popping up and closing them.

you can check schedule task.
or use another web broswer

 

[ArtisticBatling]

It doesn't show, and it still doesn't solve the underlying issue.
Every time it pops up, any game I'm on pauses like it's been changed to another window. This makes any online games impossible to play.

check event viewer?
again is this just chrome? or any app?

 

[ArtisticBatling]

It only closes chrome, but it makes any other running app pause for a few seconds. It used to bring up a tab to a anti-virus software, but it stopped a while back. I don't remember what the anti-virus was called though.

uninstall chrome and use something else or do a reset of chrome?
