Recently we have noticed that the System Preferences keeps popping up no matter how many time you turn it off or close it. I have checked the login items and nothing is selected. Any advise?

You have a good bit of digging you need to do to determine the root cause.
Do you have policies that contain scripts that call System Preferences to open, is that policy running over and over
You can look at a system's LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons to see if there's a keepalive for system preferences set for whatever reason.
Is your security agents forcing the application open by chance in an attempt to force system updates.

Those are just a few of the possibilities that you could be seeing.
