    I have been reading the comments about the Waasmedic. My question is that I run AVG security and it appears it is supposed to delete the Waasmedic log but it doesn't. Is it ok to go into the log file and delete past logs? Are they needed any more or can some be deleted. Thanks

    :)

  3. What is this WaasMedic? and Why it required to connect internet and make changes on MY COMPUTER?

    I too got notified by GlassWire last night that WaaSMedic initiated a network connection for the first time.

    This is what I have gathered so far by searching on my system:

    • There's a scheduled task called PerformRemediation that is supposed to run waasmedic.exe every 24 hours. The description of the task reads:
      "Helps recover update-related services to supported configuration.". The task ran one time last night and while it is showing as disabled right now, I'll check to see if it runs today.
    • The registry has two keys related to this file. The first one is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WaaSAssessment
      and the second one is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WaasMedic. Both keys have several values and they seem to be related to checking system health regarding windows update and patches.
    • WaasMedic connects to the address settings-win.data.microsoft.com from what I see in the registry keys and GlassWire connection notification.

    I restarted my PC last night because I got a new Kaspersky Internet Security patch. Could this be related to security software triggering this task somehow? The latest CPU vulnerability and the upcoming update to fix it?

    I'm posting this because I got curious. If someone from Microsoft can tell us exactly what this file does and why it just started showing (for some of us) yesterday, it would be great.

    "WaasMedic is one of the utilities that try to repair Windows Update when it gets damaged."

    Well, maybe it's good to block it from the internet access. No more uncontrolled updates! Waasmedic :)
