Every time I boot windows, media player classic starts running in the background (no actual MPC window opens) and hogs the CPU at 100% until I kill it. In process explorer the parent is explorer. I was wondering what could be causing this as I cannot find it under startup in msconfig.
Versions:
Windows 7 64bit Windows Media Player Classic x64 - 1.6.1.4235
make an update to Media Player Classic Home Cinema 1.6.7.7114 and if this doesn't fix it, capture a xperf trace and upload the zipped ETL file: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=140264

use Autoruns from sysinternals to determine how the process is being started. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

@magicandre1981 So I completely removed the program and rebooted, and it still runs at startup! The path is not the same path, it is running under flash player \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\SpeedCache\ – Isopycnal Oscillation – 2013-05-20T18:44:32.847

I think this would now quality as a duplicate of A malicious threat was detected in Media Player Classic exe file, since it wasn't Media Player Classic, but a virus...
