  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. Windows Defender scheduled scans failing with 0x2 error

    Hi,

    This problem is occurring on a new Dell laptop (Latitude 7480 with Windows 10 Pro 1809, auto-updates turned on). The problem started a week or two ago when Windows Defender reported no recent successful scans. I can run a scan manually with no problems.
    However, the default scheduled scan fails with an 0x2 regardless of whether I start it manually or let it run as scheduled.

    I see this error has a fairly long history but I don't see any real resolution anywhere. Is there a current suggested solution?

    Thanks,

    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan returns result 0x2

    Hey bru,
    I'm curious what command you're using for your wd task (i.e. Action Tab). I'm just doing a daily signature update and quick scan.
