    Two instances of SearchApp.exe on Resource manager


    Hi, when searching my Pc for possible signs of malware I looked at my resource manager and noticed that I had two instances of the SearchApp.exe there however both were suspended. I looked at the file tree it think that was the name and one showed a DLLhost.exe which I heard is normal whilst the other one was blank. I have also heard that the SearchApp.exe may be related to Cortana and Nvidia, both of which I have.I did a system reset but didn't wipe my drive so I'm currently doing another full reset whilst also wiping my drive to see if that gets rid of one. Is this normal to have two?

    :)

    3 locked instances .exe but Unable to run .exe file


    Hi everyone,

    I've got this serious problem recently.

    I can't run some .exe file. This problem happens a month ago, but now that file is able to run now, and now it got other .exe file can't run. Everytime I keep launch the .exe application file, the cursor just keep 'run in background' as I check on Task Manager, there's no application I launch. Then I tried to restart my PC, and now it got 3 instances of the .exe file I tried to run. Three processes only took 50 kb memory (This app usually normal and took 1GB memory). I tried to end the process, and it just wont let me end it and then I tried to force unlock the file, it says that svchost.exe -k netsvcs and system keep locking the file, I force unlock them, and no luck.

    I can launch this app months ago, and just can't launch it today, but other app that can't launch a month ago, can be launched today. It's like
    A month ago:
    - some_game_i_usually_play.exe | had the same thing, 3 instance and can't be unlocked.
    - working_software.exe | works perfectly
    Now:
    - some_game_i_usually_play.exe | works perfectly
    - working_software.exe | had the same thing, 3 instance and can't be unlocked.

    Please help, I really need to use my app right now

    Thanks for the help

    EDIT : Run as administrator ? Tried no luck. Just for your information, this app always runs perfectly, but not today.

    EDIT : Screenshot

    Many Confusing Instances of Windows Boot Manager.

    My PC is performing normally, but when I look at the bios boot page, I am very confused.

    Two instances of SearchApp.exe on Resource manager [​IMG]

    My bios Boot section shows multiple instances of Windows Boot Manager. The actual hardware is two SSD's one older data hard drive, a CD drive and a desktop backup hard drive. The Boot SSD is labeled P3 in the photo. The second SSD (P2) is just showing in the bottom listing and in the third listing up from the bottom. The DVD is P5. The data hard drive is called out by its amount used (476694... )in three locations, and the backup desktop drive (Seagate) in 2 entries. I understand that each of these entries drops down to allow making a different sequence of boot activities, but why so many?

    Why do I have this crazy quilt of "options" in my bios boot section? Why are they in this particular sequence? Why are some repeated? Why does the Seagate have listings with and without "UEFI (NTFS)? Why do some listings show the words "Windows Boot Manager" and others do not? And, to complete my display of ignorance: I figure that the Boot Manager manages the boot*Huh, but do I need these multiple listings? I can see booting from a DVD, but the other drives are not bootable.
    Thanks for trying to set me on the road to understanding.

    Two instances of SearchApp.exe on Resource manager

    Is it normal to have 2 instances of rundll32.exe running?

    Yep, that is true, they don't take no CPU resourses and little memory, i think i'll keep them for convenience like you suggested. What's Running is similar to that program you mentioned as well as Security Task Manager and tools of that nature.
