Not to worry. I can live with it .
@HarryT - 30s a day is 3 hours per annum :lol:

But, now that we're pretty certain what it's not, should we not at least try to find out what it actually is?

Did you install last weeks MS updates? I think they were related to Win 10 readiness. If you did, then might be worth uninstalling them.

Or it could be another 'application' - did you update anything?

Try exiting (killing if necessary) all other programs that are running, including those in the tray. And maybe use Autoruns to disable all start up programs and restart in Safe Mode - then you'll have something close to a 'bare bones' system.
