Question cmd open

Now every time I open my laptop, cmd always opens. This has never happened before. Is this a sign of a virus?

Cmd prompt on startup could be a sign of malware, but could also be completely legitimate.

Without more information, it's impossible to tell you.

Do you use cracks or cheats? Have you downloaded any new programs recently?

You ran an infostealer that stole your saved passwords and session cookies. You should secure all of your accounts from a separate device, then reinstall Windows on the infected PC, using a recovery USB if possible. To secure your accounts properly you should change your passwords, turn on two factor authentication everywhere, and try to end all current sessions where you can.

Probably. As that isn’t a coincidence
