Thank you SDIV for your suggestion to run in Safe Mode.
I'm having a similar problem only in Windows 10 Pro. After reading your post, I tried scanning in Safe Mode and was successful. I found 5 problems that were removed. I rebooted in Normal but did not get the report, I went to the file and opened.
I then tried to run adwcleaner in Normal Mode as admin, it still would not run. I can't find it running in task manager, unless it runs under the Malwarebytes program. I have Malwarebytes Premium 3.1.2 running. Do I have to stop Malwarebytes or am I missing something? This started a couple of weeks ago.
