Guys, any idea why it is always running? I format my PC and it's still always running even though I have no more windows updates/nothing is running in the background.

I know it's an official windows process, but why is it running all the time?

My pc sometimes hangs for several seconds too(after fresh windows install), usually when messing with different apps.

If you've upgraded to Windows10, I'm not sure this will work. If still on 7, on Windows Updates, change option to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".

It doesn't seem to work, the process still shows up.

You can try taking ownership of Trusted Installer which is now owned by System.

I'm not too tech savvy, could you rephrase that better?

Thanks for the help by the way.

Thank you.

By the way, could it be something malicous? I kind of doubt it since it's a fresh install, and it happened before I did the format as well. It also takes no resources, just idles.

Unlikely.

Is it supposed to have it's own group like that?

 

[Corday]

That is correct.

Nothing I do seems to be working, keeps running in the background.

Are your Windows Updates up to date? Are they actually installed up to 11/10/15? Was Windows7 the original OS or did you upgrade?

 

[shai1]

My Windows is up to date, I also had Windows 7 installed before the format.

I did remove and hide an update(the one that makes a small Windows 10 upgrade button at the tray bar, think it's KB3035583).

 

[Corday]

Turn off Automatic Updates and choose this: Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them

Still doesn't work unfortunately.

From a Command Prompt with Admin privileges, run sfc /scannow.

 

[shai1]

It says windows did not find any integrity issues, everything seems to be in order with the scan.

Cortana>CHKDSK C: /F

 

[shai1]

I don't have cortana, using Windows 7, how do I do it without?

 

[Corday]

In Command Prompt as Admin run CHKDSK C: /F
