A command-line window started to pop up occasionally recently:

Usually, it flashed across the screen so quickly that I could not capture its appearance. It took me a while to get this screenshot.
According to the title, it seems to be launched from some auto-update service related to npm.
Considering that I've recently updated Visual Studio Code, and it often appears when I open Visual Studio Code, the conclusion that it's caused by Visual Studio Code is my conjecture.
It's quite annoying and I'm trying to figure out a way to disable it. Had anyone faced the same problem and knew how to solve it?

CodePudding user response：

I found the same issue. Wait 2 minutes after opening a project, a terminal window will open and execute this command

npm install @hint/configuration-development@latest hint@latest typescript@latest

After disabling VSCode extensions one-by-one, the issue disappears with
