So it's been a few days since I've encountered this issue. During gameplay, I wouldn't have normally faced this before. These 2 split-second windows keep popping up on a 15-20 min interval. It's frustrating to be distracted by these irritating windows. Problem is it won't only affect me but anyone else using the laptop, which is the main concern. Any ideas what it could be? (I literally got a popup typing this. I had to use OBS to capture these buggers)
