Batch file just ran on my computer

Just popped up. Ran a list of comands for about 5/10 seconds and was gone before I catch any info. Nothing in scheduled tasks or event viewer. Any way I can find out what this was?

It may not be bad. I get a panic when I see that black screen comes up but some applications still use command line tools to run. Maybe now might be a good opportunity to back up your files to a USB drive. Lot of those ransomware viruses going round at the moment, and they will absolutely cripple a home user with no backup.
