I am having trouble figuring out this app because it keeps working when my screen goes to sleep. I thought maybe it has something to do with Halo Infinity, since after installing it and looking at the icon, which looks like a spartan helmet with a key, it seems to start up for half a second after waking up before stopping again. I just reset my computer with a new copy of Windows in case it was some kind of idle miner, but when everything came back on, I reinstalled Halo and saw the icon again. Here is what the icon looks like; hard to take a picture right as it closes. Is there any way to find programs or processes that were running recently so I can figure out what it was?

I tried, but it vanished too fast for me to watch how things happen. I even checked the Task Scheduler, and nothing was showing up there either.

You can also use a tool called Process Explorer by Microsoft that comes free on your computer. Here is where it lives: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s-explorer There are two more spots to check. You could look at Reliability History or Event Viewer. Either of these might show some error codes, warnings, or just useful info about Halo. Start with Reliability History because it's easier to use and the timeline format can help you figure out what might be connected to Halo.

I got a really clear picture of the icon, but when I looked at the form, they didn't know exactly what it was. It's that icon with the Spartan helmet and "C++" in it. You can see the link to the image here: https://imgur.com/a/tGih9gj

Where did you find Halo Infinity? Maybe it was bad. Check out your antivirus program now.

Is Halo Infinite cool? Yeah, you can get it in the Microsoft store via the Xbox app. Plus, if you have Game Pass, it's great. They've even had a beta for a long time now. Also, that picture was taken from a forum post, not their official PC site, last I checked.
