For the last few weeks I get this black window flash up on the monitor,

I have 6 PC's and it occurs on all of them , there is nothing written in

the page ,but it has a heading, but flashes so fast i cannot read it,

 

I have scanned  my PC's with 3 different Anti-Virus and everything

is clean ,the PC's are not slow and nothing else is causing any problems.

could it be something the Windows 10 system is doing ?

Use a screen capture program that allows you to record video of the screen, then you can slow it down and see what it says.

 

I gave up on window$ decades ago so can't direct you to a program. If you were using Linux it would be easy.

I am wondering why the OP needs 6 PC's. I have heard of surround sound, is he watching porn in Panavision?

And why would that be of any concern for you? I have 4 that I need for work, while my daughter has one and my wife one. Sonn the small one is growing up as well, and then I will need to have a total of 7.

You should not always think that people have the same interests as you have. ????

What is running on the pc at the time and what program is being displayed ?
 

if it was one, i would look at video cable or other loose connections. 
 

do they all do it at the same time or is it more random ?

 

what updates happened just before this started ?

As you have 6 operating systems that stands alone from each other. I assume everyone is connected to same router and IP?

Do you have anything that you have downloaded recently that you installed on all the computers? If you have automatic updates on Windows and other software it can be a bug in an update regarding a program you have on all computers.

Do you have a recent restore point before the problem started to occur? In that case you could tell the computer to go back to that point and see if the problem disappears?

Sounds like powershell starting or a program requesting powershell.

Without seeing the black screen/ window difficult to know.

Does the sympton appear randomly or at a specific point.

Yes it looks like the same page when you open powershell , black no writing on it,

just happens randomly , and only once in a sitting , I think, but its so fast ,if i have

3 monitors on with 3 Pc's it will occur within seconds on each one , quite sure its

not anything bad ,as scanned all pc's thoroughly , nothing found , I am not overly

worried , just would like to know what it's doing and why.  thanks.

Well if it's in each PC operating systems, and it wasn't there before it could be a recent Win update.

Maybe the suggestion of going back to the last restore point is worth a try. 

If it is a Win problem, maybe Microsoft have identified it in FAQ.

That's what I think, too. I had that happen on my PC for a time then it gave up and went away.

 

Autoruns:

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

 

Be sure to look at the scheduled tasks and see if you can find some correlation there, too. You can disable stuff using this program if you run it as Admin.

 I assume your have 4 so can you see foreigners doing anything untoward N/S/W/E  and then report on such discrepancies?

Just now I got the page popup again , bit slower than usual ,not 100 %

sure it's the same one as before , but this one was from Ccleaner ,that

was on the heading , but no CMD line in the page ,so nothing to worry

about I think .

I was going to ask what sort of antivirus software you had loading at startup, the update request can flash a black command window. If it is Ccleaner, disable the autorun and see if you lose the command window - just to be sure.
