Greetings Gary,

 

I've not seen any unusual disconnections via Chrome or my Steam client, but I just noticed something odd in the task manager.

 

Console Window Host & Windows Command Processor instances are running within the Chrome process group. I don't remember seeing those there previously. The only thing I can think of is that they are being added by MalwareBytes? I recently upgraded to the paid active service. I've attached a screen cap of my task manager for reference.

It is common for Chrome to use the Command Processor to run background tasks.

Are there any remaining concerns?
