Somehow mr.exe gets executed and every boot it locks pc asking if it should change a setting. Deleting mrt.exe stops the popup, but on next update it wants to re-install Microsoft Windows Malicious Software again. I found this hack: Is anyone else having this issue. It only started this year.
I've tested with the last mrt release and nothing happened with the kms activation, not even a AV report by Defender or MRT.
Several others reported that behavior likewise. Couldn't notice it myself so far. Would be interesting to know why it is that random .
i do not have the problem yet. will follow this thread PS: I have AutoKMS folder excluded in Windows Defender
that registry hack works but you need to delete the existing MRT.exe on ur computer (windir/system32)
I also have AutoKMS folder and Exe excluded in Windows Defender and Malwarebytes v3. No other issues here with AutoKMS.
MRT.exe runs independent of Windows Defender, bit I also excluded AutoKMS. Something else is triggering MRT.
I think this other reg entry might help too: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRT] "DontOfferThroughWUAU"=dword:00000001 I meant to prevent re-enabling of MRT.
I didn't know what was triggering mrt, but I just found out: I am curious if anyone else has this flagged during startup. Here is the reg key:
