A blank C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe keeps popping up.. R for windows Front-End

I'm using Windows 10 Pro. Every 20 - 30 seconds I notice a cmd.exe window that pops up briefly, takes focus away from my cursor and then disappears. This starts to happen shortly after I log in and persists through various reboots.

One time I managed to open task manager while the window was up. Doing so, I managed to get some details and I noticed that it had something to do with the taskSchedulerR package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/taskscheduleR/readme/README.html). It was trying to run some scheduled script. This is not a virus, as I was playing with this a few weeks back, but ultimately decided against using this package.

So, I uninstalled the package remove.packages(taskscheduleR)and now it is no longer in R addons, however, the annoying cmd window keeps popping up. Now the pop-up does not have anything to do with taskScheduleR, but instead references "R for Windows front-end". See the screenshot I managed to get.

Any help on getting this to stop would be appreciated. Hoping to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling RStudio.

Thanks!
