• I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

  I am running Windows Ultimate 32 bit. I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

  This is lightening fast and as I said, it cannot be read because it's so fast. I ran Windows Defender, SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes Anti-malware full scan with Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Security Scan and nothing came. Cannot know what is happening. Any ideas?

  Hello Chris,

  I understand that you have any questions, an error on the taskbar.

  I would like to know some information about this problem to help you better.

  (1) you remember changes recently in the computer?

You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot. See the link to perform the clean boot.
