I am having to run v3.5.10 because even now with latest 3.6 that version - every 30 seconds or so I hear a process open and then close. Can't track it down even in task manager - too brief but it's insistent! So stuck having to use 3.5

I have to use V3.5.10 despite wanting to run 3.6 (just updated to 3.6.6 too). However when I run 3.6 I hear thru my sounds set up a process open briefly and then close every 30 seconds or so - it's very regular and insistent and I'd like to know what it is and why. It's too brief to spot in Task manager processes listing. This did happen once under 3.5 I seem to recall but was cured when it upgraded.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Pretty much soon after I first applied and ran 3.6

"my sounds set up" ?? Your speaker system?

Can't offer any troubleshooting ideas if you don't have 3.6.6 installed any longer.

My Win sounds give me a sound each time an app or process opens and another when it closes - thus I know from that any time something happens.

I have 3.6.6 on as well as 3.5.10 - so can run either. But running .3.6.6 despite being update still has this odd process open and close every half minute.
