you have any antivirus? update and scan it
looks like miner that run on background but could be a virus

what about using your phone to capture it and send it

Process Monitor is the best way to isolate ornery processes.

Lol... come on man. Get creative. You're offering just about zero information other than 'something's happened'. Either use your phone or try print screen > paste in Paint OR hit Start and type Snip for the snipping tool.

Did you turn it off and on again? If it persists after a reboot, my money is on some form of malware. In that case, back up important files and work towards a complete reinstall, perhaps preceded by formatting your OS drive. In the meantime you can try to use things like AntiMalwareBytes or Hitman Pro to get the malware removed. When and if that fails, reinstall the OS.

i can see the post you failed to upload the screenshot with, its because you tried to link us to a file on your hard drive

use
https://www.techpowerup.org/upload
to upload an image for us to see, preferably of process monitor
