As you won't be getting any more Windows Updates then you can disable that service.

Unless you've done the tweak to get POS/ Embedded XP updates until April 2019 :wink:

While there's a registry hack for those, MS don't recommend it - but you could say that they would say that in order to sell more of their product....

Yes, Adobe flash is a scheduled task. What is odd to my mind is not that svc.exe should be running, if that is what is happening, but that it opens the box or window. I suspect a switch or something like that for opening the window instead of running silently, and may be that got corrupted when I ran the repair, but of course that is post hoc ergo propter hoc, and may not be the connection at all.

Agreed, that is odd behaviour.
Try temporarily disabling the update task for a while to determine if that is the cause.
