turned off PC for the night after running 2 successive KVRT runs, each showing all files scanned and no threats found. started PC normally this AM and re-ran a Malwarebytes 4.63 scan, this time no hang on checking file system and again 2 successive runs of it, completed normally with 0 threats detected. I'm going to go with this serendipitous result set and request closure of this ticket as solved. Thank you.

scan runs up to a point where it stops item counter but timer runs forever, never completes scan. I have turned off scanning archives to see if that helped, also tried running scan after restarting in safe mode w networking - neither made a difference dnld'd and ran your support tool, zip attached mbst-grab-results.zip
