Last week I saw some continuous popups which disappeared too quickly and was hard to read. Then I checked task manager and too my utmost surprise I found multiple instances of same app running in background.


I thought of some malware and scanned using my default AV Bitdefender and Malwarebytes but nothing was identified. So I did a clean wipe (C Drive) and freshly installed windows latest version. But after 4-5 days the same issue started popping up. I think the issue occurs completely random and sometimes my quick launch icon area gets completely filled with same icons, say IASTARICON.EXE from Intel. (See the attached JPEG). I tried to disable most of the startup apps using Task manager and Bitdefender, but nothing really helped.
