  1. Failed 2004 update? Windows slow? It could be Malwarebytes


    The Windows 2004 update brought my machine to its knees. Nothing worked anymore. After three failed upgrades and one completely new install of Windows 10 version 2004, I started to selectively disable components, and I finally narrowed it down to Malwarebytes, an anti-virus, anti-ransomware etc solution that had worked for me for years.


    Updating to the latest Malwarebytes version did not help. They seem to be aware of the situation although not always completely forthcoming but have no solution, except recommending to disable features one buys Malwarebytes for. I removed Malwarebytes, and now, all is well.


    Pre 2004, my Windows suffered from regular slowdowns after hours of use, slow Internet, occasional freezes and so forth. I could not find the reason. I have a 16 core machine with 128G of RAM, there definitely is no shortage of resources. After removal of Malwarebytes, no more problems.


    This is a very insidious problem, because it is not evident that Malwarebytes is the culprit. First reflex is most likely to point fingers at Microsoft, or the computer.


    The matter is documented at the Malwarebytes forum. They closed the thread.

  2. Malwarebytes and Windows 10

    Then I'll suggest you follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog

    2. In the box that comes up, type services.msc and click OK

    3. In the list, find Windows Management Instrumentation, and double click it

    4. Change startup type to Automatic

    5. See if you can open Malwarebytes, if not, do a reboot.

    Hello @walleyeblugil

    1. Published lists that could be sorted by build number likely are non-existent. Without devoting more time, it would be best if you quote the entire version number in a reply.
    2. If you have an unexpired or lifetime license, a clean install seems indicated if you wish to upgrade to Malwarebytes for Windows. (MB4)
    If you wish to upgrade immediately, and your computer meets hardware/software minimums, then:

    1. Please first make a safe/written record of the older product's valid Malwarebytes license Key/ID.
    2. Deactivate the activated license.
    3. Sequentially follow the steps in the following document:
    Uninstall and reinstall Malwarebytes using the Malwarebytes Support Tool

    Then activate to premium:

    Activate your subscription in Malwarebytes for Windows
