Yes, sorry for the delayed response. I haven't been able to find a solution for my issue yet, but since we ran an extensive amount of scans with a multitude of different AV software, I'm reasonably confident it might just be a different issue altogether (no malware). I understand that might fall outside of the scope of this forum, in which case feel free to mark this as solved/closed. I guess I'll just live with until I manage to identify the issue. Thank you kindly for all the help offered, JSntgRvr!

That's part of the CyberPower Panel Personal (UPS battery software). It's been on my computer for a long time. Never had any issues with it. It spikes up in CPU usage sometimes, but nothing out of the ordinary. If I remove those registry entries you've put in the Fixlist file, will it disable it? Because I very much need this software haha

I've gone ahead and cleared all the Event logs, rebooted and ran FRST64 once again. FRST.txt Addition.txt

I understand that, but initially I suspected it might've been a hijacked .exe, but the SFC /scannow and the disk repair commands should've caught it, I believe. But, I still can't get over its behavior when opening Task Manager. A legitimate .exe wouldn't care if you open anything else, it would still continue to bother you, I think. In any case, I did check Device Manager (even the hidden devices), but nothing jumps at me. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to live with it. I'll just fire up Task Manager whenever I boot a game haha. And I'll continue to look for a solution elsewhere. Thank you so much for your time and efforts in trying to find a solution. I appreciate it a lot!

Still the same issue, unfortunately. But, I genuinely appreciate your help.

I've reinstalled AMD drivers the moment I noticed my games acting up and no amount of scanning seemed to find the culprit. As for the excessive amounts of error events, that's just classic AMD software for ya. I can only hope it's just a Windows or AMD driver issue, rather than a sneaky miner in the background. I'm inclined to think the latter; I'm still hung over the fact of everything goes back to normal the moment I open Task Manager.

Same here actually. Goodnight and sleep well! Thank you for trying to help me. FRST.txt Addition.txt

I've gone ahead and updated everything I use from the list and uninstalled everything I don't use, but the issue still persists. I've attached the new .txt file, just in case you'd like to check. I'm still waiting on that download link for Dr. Web CureIt to be emailed to me. Is there anything else I can try in the meantime? SecurityCheck.txt

Here you go: SecurityCheck.txt

Here's the new search file for WerFault.exe: Search.txt

Nothing's changed, unfortunately. Same issue and behavior as before. WerFault.exe pops up when I launch a game and disappears the moment I open Task Manager and everything goes back to normal. Once again, I really appreciate your time in trying to help me!

I think it's done. Here's the report: Fixlog.txt

Apparently Windows Defender was preventing me from running FRST64. I went ahead and re-disabled it and managed to get the Search text file. Here's also the log from AV block remover: Search.txt AV_block_remove_2024.03.24-02.14.log

It doesn't open anymore, strangely enough. I tried double clicking; right click > open as admin; even downloaded a brand new FRST64.exe, it still refuses to open.

Sorry, accidentally posted the previous screenshot when I meant to post the most recent one.
