  1. Windows system files reported as malware


    Hi,

    I just updated my system to version 19042.844, and within Process Explorer I'm getting that one engine reports some Windows System files as malware on VirusTotal.com

    Can someone on this forum test this and give me feedback about this issue?

    Here is what I'm getting from Process Explorer:

    Incorrect System Report

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    I have run the Windows Memory Diagnostic and the report indicated that no memory problems were detected. Status remains the same - 2GB of RAM instead of 6GB.

    I do not have any obvious performance issues on this system. I have another Windows 10 installation on a secondary laptop and the system specs are reported accurately on that installation.
