That is not normal. Do you have any software on your computer which is supposed to use or try to use Bitcoin Core's JSON-RPC server?

I'm using Armory.

I'm using Armory.
If you have rpcuser and rpcpassword set in the bitcoin.conf, remove or comment those out and restart Core.

I only installed bitcoin core because Armory Needs it. I don't do and haven't done anything with bitcoin core. None of the wallets has any coins so no big risk I guess.

Check that a .cookie file exists in Bitcoin Core's data directory. If it doesn't, restart Core.

I'm going to split this thread and move it to Armory.

Yes, there is a .cookie file, I hadn't noticed that before. I opened it with notepad and it just has __cookie__ followed by about 50 random characters.
