I have only had a Windows update install a program once before, that program is called "Update for Windows 10 for x64-based System (KB4023057)" and at least it says "Microsoft" on that one's publisher. This new one like I said doesn't have a publisher and can't be found anywhere on Google. If it's so normal, then a lot of people would have wondered about it and asked somewhere, since there must still be quite a few 1703 (or lower) users, the internet should be full of threads about this topic, but there is only mine. Also what do you mean by "his logs"? He didn't post any logs anywhere oO

How do you know which version he is on? He didn't mention it anywhere and he only has these 2 comments he posted in this thread? Also when you say I think you don't quite understand the problem. It is absolutely not normal that a Windows update installs something that lands in your list of installed programs, especially when that program doesn't have a publisher and you can't find one single bit of information about it on Google. @jqin If you could answer my question I asked in my previous comment, I'd be very thankful.

@jqin Could you tell me which program exactly you are referring to? Since I got 2 programs installed by a Windows update, one a couple of days ago, and one yesterday/today. Do you have both "Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057)" and "Windows Setup Remediations (x64) (KB4023057)" or just one of those? And could you also tell me which update level your Windows 10 is on? You can find out when you click on the Windows-Button bottom left -> Settings -> System -> Info (at the very bottom) - it says "Version such and such", which one is yours?

Well it's not an update I lose sleep about, it's the fact that after that update I got a new program in my list of installed programs without a publisher and with zero mentions in Google. That certainly is not normal, would you not agree?

I did see that article too, since I contacted Microsoft-support about the issue. The problem is, like I said, that this new installed program has no publisher, and the support guy said that this file is not from Microsoft (though admittedly, he seemed quite clueless and talked all over the place). But the biggest issue I have is that there is absolutely 0 information about this "Windows Setup Remediations (x64) (KB4023057)" thing on Google, aside from the 2 threads that I myself opened.

It's me again, I'm using the same thread because I have a similar question again: After a Windows update yesterday/today, I found a weird program in my list of installed programs called "Windows Setup Remediations (x64) (KB4023057)". It DID appear shortly after the Windows update, however it does not have Microsoft as a publisher (the publisher is emtpy) and I can't find ANYTHING about it with Google. I found that very weird, so I started a MWB-scan, but this time it was finished in 42 seconds, telling me it scanned over 328.000 files in that time and that everything is "ok". That can't possibly be true? Scanning that many files in 42 seconds? That makes absolutely no sense :/

Oh, alright then. Thanks again and congratz on the 6k posts

I'll do a proper scan at some point anyway, I just don't have the time for it atm so I had to exclude rootkits for now. So you think 3 1/2 minutes is a "normal" amount of time for the kind of scan that I did?

Apparently it's now working again, I just did a scan and it finished it, thanks ^^ Though I do have one more question: is it normal that the entire scan only took about 3 and a half minutes? It was a custom scan that only scanned drive C, I also excluded rootkits, but left everything else checked. Seems a bit to fast to me.

Oh weird, I guess I expected the program to update itself (is it not supposed to do that?). I'm using the free version of MWB, is the version that the tool installs also free?

Oh sorry, didn't think that automated reply contains anything important, so I ignored it ^^ Here are the logs. mb-check-results.zip

Hi guys, since at least October of last year, I have had the problem described in the title of this thread. When I try to scan my PC with MWB, the program first searches for updates, then starts the next step, I'd translate it as "processes before the scan", and then immediately stops and tells me that the "scanning and moving to quarantine" has been finished, when it really didn't even start yet. The entire process takes 4 seconds according to the report, every single time. Do you know what the problem might be and how I can fix it? Is there some kind of repair-tool for MWB or would it be better to just reinstall it?
