    Saw a seemingly suspicious process with the name "Windowsr"


    Hey community,While troubleshooting a softlock I had earlier tonight, I saw a process called "Windowsr" for a split second before disappearing, that wasn't the full name but that was all I could recall. I've never seen a windows process to have a trademark associated with it and a safe-mode virus search came up with nothing out of the ordinary and my event logs didn't pick anything up either.Is there any official process that I'm unaware of that seems similar to the one I came across today?

    :)

    Turn On Windows Defender Block Suspicious Behaviors in Windows 10  

    The DWORD is set to 0 and I cannot get the process you suggested in the "NOTE" portion of the tutorial to work. Two attached screen shoots will show the before and after attempts to change the Permissions necessary for access to the DWORD change.

    printing file names

    Hi, unless there's a suitable utility, I suggest this is a 2 stage process. 1. Create the name list. 2. Organise into columns. 1. Try Karen's Directory Printer the File Cataloging Utility for Windows v5.4.4 Released May 25, 2020 | Karen's Power Tools | Karen's Software - donationware or similar to create a linear list of names as afile. 2. A couple of ways to convert that into columns for printing: a. use e.g. Convert a List to Columns - Online List Tools b. use a blank template in a (free) spreadsheet or word processor program and copy the list into that. That gives you a preview- which you can print. You'd think there'd be some freeware out there..
