Windows 10: Why would an update call on lockapp.exe

Hello,My company has an antivirus software that picks up any unusual commands or processes that are being called on or ran. Recently an employee ran the February 13th, 2024 KB5034763 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 and when he restarted his PC a call was made to lockapp.exe by svchost.exe, and our antivirus software pinged this as suspicious. I am aware of what lockapp.exe does and that it is not a malicious executable, but the question that still remains is why was this executable called on? If anyone can clear this up for me I know my co-workers and I would really appreciate it as there

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

we couldn't complete the update kb3135173

Hello,

I'm sorry to inform you that your method 2 was unsuccessful.

For printer problem, I already contact HP but it seems that I need to make sure windows update work first.

Back to Method 2, are you sure this method also work for windows 10?

Anyway, I follow those steps and these what I encounter:

• net stop appidsvc: cmd "Application identity service is not started"
• net stop cryptsvc: There was a y/n question. My replay was Y.
• Step 4. In the first tried, I skip the 4th step.
• Step 6. There are several dll that either "failed to load" or "loaded but "entry point DllRegisterServer was not found". I didn't read all the error message, but this are dll that show error message:

• regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll
• regsvr32.exe shdocvw.dll
• regsvr32.exe browseui.dll
• regsvr32.exe msxml.dll
• regsvr32.exe gpkcsp.dll
• regsvr32.exe sccbase.dll
• regsvr32.exe slbcsp.dll
• regsvr32.exe initpki.dll
• regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
• regsvr32.exe wuaueng1.dll
• regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
• regsvr32.exe wuweb.dll
• regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
• regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
• regsvr32.exe wucltux.dll
• regsvr32.exe muweb.dll
• regsvr32.exe wuwebv.dll

• Step 10 i skip this.
• Are you sure step 11 need to be avoided and not step 10?
• I restart my computer, run windows update, no luck. Try those steps again with step 4 included.
• step 4.a. Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
  "access denied".
• for step 6, still the same.
• Restart, no luck.

Now, what should I do?

By the way: I already uninstall HP printer driver, but strange enough windows update still show that there are update for the printer. Tried to install, error though.

Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping.
