During the day a cmd window will pop up and immediately disappear without warning, kicking me out of fullscreen applications and being a general annoyance. I suspect something more sinister but Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware have failed to find the source of the problem and the popups continue to occur.
Being rather annoyed I managed to capture the event in a recording and discovered it was BITSadmin attempting to do something.
I have no experience dealing with BITSadmin but I do know its function so I assume something is trying to phone home, but as previously stated all AV software has not found the cause. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not familiar with BitsAdmin (I thought that was deprecated?) but these are the commands I use to check what's downloading.

BITS retries interrupted downloads constantly. Check if any (using Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers) shows an error, you can then remove those that are not system owned.
And what command do I use to remove user owned tasks?I'm not familiar with BitsAdmin (I thought that was deprecated?) but these are the commands I use to check what's downloading.

Remove-BitsTransfer
NB: if system owned, one cannot do it via PS, in that case you will have to delete certain folders and let Windows rebuild those.
EDIT: See the example here
Remove-BitsTransfer
Doing so removed two tasks out of five; two user owned tasks still remain and I will update if the problem continues to occur.Remove-BitsTransfer

The popup occured again practically after I finished my last post so I went ahead and deleted the other two user made tasks, only a system task dealing with Skype is now present. Once again I will update if the popup occurs again.
OK, keep us informed ...
BTW to clear the system owned download see the script code here:

After 2 days and seeing no popups i'm confident the problem has been fixed. Thank you.

Hi. I have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link does not work. Could you help me to solve it?
