  1. Endlessly filling up with dismhost.exe instance in Temp folder


    It has been getting super annoying for a long time that WindowsMicrosoft Windows. Version 1909, The internal version is: 18363.1556 keeps writing the dismhost.exe and other .dll and .mui files under Appdata\Local\Temp. All the name of these folders, in which contains these files, is samilar to "E3DC6F0C-C3DE-413E-B674-69DFC1B47085" which looks like a hash id. The replication happens every minute when my system goes to sleep.I have to delete these folders, in which contains the same files, including the dismhost.exe and soem dlls, in order to free my disk space.What worst thing is that this

  2. Dismhost exe in Temp folder

    I keep seeing that a random folder appearing in my Temp folder, folder name is very random with words and mixed numbers. Inside, there is a certain exe named "Dismhost" this pops up almost like every two days or so. Is this normal? I already scanned my computer
    with Malwarebytes with hidden files enabled, found nothing. I always delete that random folder but it keep coming back.

    Win10 64 professional 1803

    Dismhost exe have "Microsoft Windows" sha1 and sha256 digital signature that signed in april 2018

    Any way to stop this from happening?

  3. Dismhost exe in Temp folder

    Hey thanks for reply Dave, I'm using Norton Internet Security as my main security program so windows defender is passive because Win10 does not let me use both in same time. so I cannot use a manual scan feature in Win defender, but, I noticed there is a
    "periodic scan" option (almost missed it because text so damn small haha) "You can continue to use your primary AV and have windows defender scan your system time to time"
    perhaps enabling this slider to solve this issue?

    UPDATE: well guess what happened, Norton instantly gave me an red pop up warning saying "Norton and windows defender cannot work at same time" so I can't even enable periodic scan, so be it then, I have no annoyances or problems having that folder in Temp
    folder, I can always delete it anyway so its ok,

    I think removing/deleting any file or folder in Temp folder is completely safe any way right? Its called Temp for a reason, besides, if I try to remove a important file windows warns me anyways "this folder is in use" so thats alright

    Thanks for help dude, good day to you
