    Hello there Microsoft.

    Why are you trying to violate my privacy??!!

    I do not want any automated and hidden task to use my camera.

    And you do not tell the truth as I checked "do not ask again" the problem continues and that you are BULLING me and wasting my time several times a day.

    YOU MUST SOLVE THAT IMMEDIATTELY or I will complain to the EU commissioner.

    Mine is signed Microsoft Windows:


    windows 10 - taskhostw.exe asks for webcam usage - ... [​IMG]


    And, so is Taskmgr.exe:


    windows 10 - taskhostw.exe asks for webcam usage - ... [​IMG]


    And, SearchUI.exe:


    windows 10 - taskhostw.exe asks for webcam usage - ... [​IMG]



    So probably not a false flag signature on taskhostw.exe.
