This is the what I see when I first power on my PC:

the black box minimized

And this is what I see after I maximize it:

the black box maximized

I have no idea what this is and how to remove it or what's causing it and I just noticed it, so I don't know how long it had been there.

Ended this task by manually ending process: voicecontrolengine.exe

To make voicecontrolengine.exe show in Task Manager, sometimes you have to attempt to resize the small dot on your desktop.

.exe always launches on boot, unsure where or how to stop this. Is not in any boot list.

Bundled with a recent update of MSI Dragon Center, though can't find anything in configs to stop it launching.

That appears to be a CMD prompt from a task run at startup, perhaps a batch file. Use Sysinternals' Autoruns to see what runs at startup. In particular, check what happens at Logon and in Scheduled Tasks.

It is most likely something that is using the command line to load itself, be sure to check which applicaions are launching at startup, or right a login. You can do this through the Task manager, then go to startup, and disable, or enable any applicatons that you need to.
