Mcinwwl Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Try programs like process hacker or process explorer to check out who is a parent process for this. Also check task scheduler. If that fails, I'm out of simple solutions, and I don't know complex ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthan Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I task scheduler i dont see direct execution of this process, but you be run indirectly.. i have there usually things: Nvidia Geforce experience and drivers Google updater Avira antivirus things Dropbox Adobe Reader BlueStacks helper.. When i try process explorer: - i dont see how to trace the tree, i this option is not available, so my its primary process in info i see this: Its ok? Should this process be autostarted with /v parameter? Here is registry key, uploaded. Key.reg Edited December 31, 2018 by ruthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It can be difficult to track msiexec.exe by process name due to the way it operates. It usually will create a process, exit and re-open a new process. For trying to figure out what runs it, you may want to look into the CBS.log. Of course there is always the Windows Performance Toolkit, part of the ADK, which has bootlogging tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Destro, that doesn't seem entirely relevant. Ruthan, take a look at this, it is for Windows 7 but perhaps it still works for Windows 10. You may even get to look into the temp folder to see if any logs are already present with the timestamp of your boot time. Otherwise, try setting the registry key and see if it makes any "better" logs appear. https://superuser.com/questions/180281/what-folder-are-installation-logs-in There was nothing really of note in the CBS.log. In the most recent reboot, nothing much but in the one prior Windows Update was doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthan Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Tripredacus: I not sure, what exactly to do, i already have logging on voicewarmupx level, which looks as everything logged. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthan Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 It seems to be fixed, i used MS Utilital fixer and ordered installed programs from oldest and tried if uninstall can be executed, if dont i uninstalled program.. There was probably something broken from old Win7 install, which was upgraded to Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I had a feeling that thing would work. Becasue I had that same problem before. ANd I used those uninstallers and they worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
