I think it has to do with running different screen resolutions temporarily. (I closed my laptop and when I opened it up again the resolution was smaller than normal. So small in fact, that I had to scroll to see all of the screen. I noticed that this program was running while this was happening. I closed my laptop, opened it up again and the glitch fixed itself and was back to normal. cmd.exe process was still there. I'm not positive if it has to do with resolution, but that's all that I can tell.
