A hidden app on Desktop Dock

How do you find a way to correct a issue with a intrusive app that keep reacting on the right side of the Dock when my computer opens the screen?

In describing this behavior, it's when my computer is offline. When I turned it on and waited for a few minutes because it is slow, then when the screen comes on the Dock menu has a reaction on the right side immediately. Something is being closed or removed.

I cannot see what kind of app it is because the reaction is to fast. I don't know the name of the app, but I think it is a tracking app that is collecting my private data.

At first, it was given me a lot of problems that I had to call Apple Tech support and erased and reinstalled macOS Monterey. I also took it to an Apple store repair and paid and nothing was found. I have tried everything I think of and nothing is working.
