I am driving at the post where you said:
Getting to desktop a box will say MSASCui.exe application error
0x80000003..
MSASCui,exe is installed by Windows Defender. WD wants to run
automatically when your system restarts and it is having a problem
running.
When you see 0x80000003 and a reference to MSASCui.exe, that means
Windows Defender is broken. It probably really says
MSASCui.exe.manifest? It doesn't really matter - it is broken or
something is keeping it from running.
Usually you can fix this issue by simply deleting the
msascui.exe.manifest file from c
program files\windows\defender and
rebooting (see earlier post).
If the file does not exist or deleting it does not solve the problem,
then Windows Defender should be uninstalled and reinstalled to fix
this problem.
If you have some malware infections already, this will not remove the
malware from your system so you need to do some other better scans.
Since this may be caused by some infection, you should also try to get
MBAM and SAS running (see earlier post again) since (in my opinion)
they are more likely to relieve you of malware that Windows Defender.
Windows Defender is also a tremendous consumer of Virtual Memory (see
Task Manager with the VM Size column enabled), but that may not be an
issue for you.
You can certainly call the 866 number, and I just did, and they are
experiencing high call volumes as usual. I tuned on my speaker phone
and ate a sandwich and was still on hold. I think it would take less
time to try to fix the problem yourself. I am still on hold. I
recreated your problem on my system and know I can fix it, but I I
want to see what they say when I tell I have the problem you have.
The two times in my life I have talked to those 866 people, instead of
helping me fix my problem, they gave up after a few minutes and said I
needed to reformat my drive, reinstall Windows and all my
applications. Of course, I did not do that and never will.
Maybe you will have better luck with them. Let us know how it works
out and I will let you know how they "help" me with this silly new WD
issue.
