Windows 10: Controlled Memory Access

This is the last time I want to ask this but is this a virus?I've recently been spammed by svchost.exe and something called wuauclt.exeAccording to Avast's forums, wuauclt is a Cult Trojan. I'm making a new user now to detect if it's a corrupted account issue but it's concerning getting these pop-ups.Some say it's dangerous and must be removed immediately while others say that it's normal and is just the ransomware protection setting it off. People say it's not usual, some say it is.Everything is so scary and conflicting.

Controlled Folder Access

Hi.

I've been using Controlled Folder Access recently but I'm having a problem getting one application to change/create files. I use doPDF8 to create PDF files, but when CFA is active, it won't save my work. The notice explaining that something has tried accessing the folder only comes up once. (I assume that if you don't do anything about it, the program trying to access the file is put on the 'black list'.) Turning CFA off and then on again causes the notice to appear once more. However, the notice seems to suggest that it is C:\Windows\splwow64.exe that is trying to access/create the file, but when I put this into the 'allow app control' list, it still doesn't work. The only way I can find to get the PDF file created is to turn off CFA, create the file and then turn it back on again.

Any ideas?

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
