Hey @AdvancedSetup, That’s exactly why I was somewhat paranoid about DataExchangeHost. I couldn’t find any information, the very little information I could find pointed to it being used by VMs which I don’t use. That being said, your statement seems to be confirmed by this post I found not long ago https://forums.majorgeeks.com/threads/data-exchange-host.317656/ Also the process doesn’t seem to show up often as I’ve only seen it twice, in the 5 months I’ve had my computer. That could explain why not many people get to see it. Also my computer did come with office365 installed. I recently tried to use it but I closed it before doing the initial setup and I haven’t opened it since. Maybe that could explain why it’s constantly pinging the server, but i could be wrong. Again thanks for all the help, and thanks for sticking around this long thread.

Ah ok, i see so there isn’t anything wrong with seeing Data Exchange Host then. Thank you for all the help you have provided. Very good service.

Hello @AdvancedSetup, Ill do what you mentioned in step 2 as soon as I get home. I did a quick google search and it said that event EventID: 86 was an error that occurred when pinging a server. My concern is that I’m not trying to ping a server. I mainly use the computer for gaming and for college work. So I don’t know why my computer would be pinging an Azure server. I’m not good with network stuff so forgive me if this sounds dumb, I’m just concerned about my computer sharing data with an unknown Server.

Hello, thanks for the help. I have three questions before we end. Any that you can answer will be appreciated 1. Did my computer have malware? 2. You mentioned that my computer was trying to reach Azure servers. Where we able to fix that? 3. What could’ve caused DataExchangeHost to show up? Again thanks for all the help.

I would like to mention DataExchangeHost.exe stopped showing up after stopping it earlier today before I posted here.

Hello, I ran the program three times. The first time it froze up The second time i did a quick scan and it found something The third time I did a full scan and it didn't find anything. Here are the logs: Full Scan.txt Quick Scan.txt

Hello, I’m currently doing a full scan using the indicated software. Will let you know the result. I don’t have any folders I want to remove. Do you suggest any?

Hello, here is the log: MTB.txt

The other things that show are just successful updates.

Hello, so I opened reliability monitor and the only error that shows is that sysInfoCap stopped working. Apart from that I can’t see anything else.
