Microsoft reports relate to a bogus update from Win Defender stopping some machines from starting when secure boot is turned on:

I have adopted a fairly old IT philosophy of 'If its not broken, don't fix it' when it comes to Windows 10. After all, the only 'valuable' stuff on your computer are documents and emails which you spent time on - if these are 'lost' there is a cost to recover this data. So - for the past...

So, here is the problem. I was looking at Antimalware Service Executable for a long time, then as soon as I start doing something big such as copying a lot of files at once, a lot of the CPU goes to the Antimalware Service Executable, and then what I am copying goes down to literally Kilobytes...

Hi! Yesterday I downloaded update for Windows 10 and update downloaded and installed and required a restart. I restarted computer, updates were installing and after that complete sign in showed up. When I got signed in everything was black, I only could see cursor, I waited for 15 minutes but...

My computer updated a few days ago. I noticed there was no change to Defender. I thought the fall update includes some improvements to Defender. Does this mean a further update is forthcoming? My current version info: Antimalware client version:4.11.15063.447 Engine version: 1.1.14104.0 My PC...

It's a simple problem, but it makes it nearly impossible to take notes in class on my laptop. Every time I open my laptop and it wakes from sleep mode, there are a few processes that will spend the first 3-5 minutes hogging the CPU and disk like crazy, making everything from Chrome to Word slow...

I have configured the latest version of Malwarebytes Antimalware program to make full scan of my pc every day and when the scan finishes, a message appears saying i must restart my pc for the cleaning process to finish. Can i disable this message? If yes then how?

When I try to restore to a valid restore point, the final message is 'Restoration Incomplete' 'Your computer cannot be restored to........date/system checkpoint'. I have run various antimalware, but without resolving the problem. My OS is windows XP (home edition) on a Pentium PC.
