    taskhostw.exe


    My Surface Book Security software just blocked taskhostw.exe from accessing \Device\HarddiskVolume2 via the Controlled folder access, twice. A quick search of the .exe appears to be a Windows app. Why did the Surface Security software block this app and should I allow it to access the folder?

    :)

    Just to be sure, did you look for Windows Update Checker dot exe? I didn't find it in my files, but I do have Taskhostw dot exe in details.

    Oops, switching to Hibernate won't get rid of the problem; it will just hide it from view!
