I had the same problem on my Ativ Smart PC Pro and it turned out to be the S Pen software. It drove me nuts because I never could find a way to uninstall it, and it didn't show up in msconfig at all. I don't know if they hid it in with another service, but I finally gave up trying to fix it and just ended task on S Pen whenever it came up.
You might just try end tasking non-MS programs when the box comes up and see what closes it. You could also try highlighting Explorer in the task manager and clicking "Restart" - which actually works much better than I'd expected it to, based on previous versions of Windows.
