  1. Task Manager has unknown publisher and failing Updates


    Hi,


    Recently I've noticed that when I open Task Manager it says that the publisher is unknown. Looking on some forums most say to do an sfc /scannow. This yields the result -

    "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"


    I went to Windows Update and that has error 0x800b0001 and 0x80246007.


    I run the Windows updater troubleshooter states "An error occured while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting" Error code 0x800B0003.


    Also, trying to manually install updates has error "Installer encountered an error: 0x800B0001" Unknown trust provider.


    Finally, when updating Virus and Threat Definitions they haven't been successfully updated since 27th Deccember 2018. I get error code -2145124318


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1803 OS Build 17134.472


    Thanks all!

    :)

  2. Can't run program with 'unknown publisher'

    I am attempting to open a program with an unknown publisher.

    Before the April 2018 update, I would see a prompt upon lunching the program that would inform me that this program had an unknown publisher. This prompt would allow me to select the 'Run Anyway' option. Since the April 2018 update, this prompt does
    not display. The program does not run and does not show up in the task manager. I currently know of a workaround by disabling a feature in Windows Defender. My question is, will there be a fix for this soon?

    Windows Defender Security Center -> App & Browser Control -> turn off -> Check apps and files

  3. When I start Task Manager, it asks for permission to run from unknown publisher and then does nothing

    I am running Windows 10, having upgraded from Windows 8.1. When I try to run Task Manager, I get the box that asks me if I want to run Windows32/taskmgr.exe because it is "from an unknown publisher". After I say okay, it just disappears. I am having
    no such issues on my two other Windows 10 systems, one upgraded from 8.1 and one from Windows 7. How do I fix this so I can run task manager?
