Question MSASCuiL popped up in startup, should I leave it alone?

[ShangWang]

I had a clean installation of windows a few days ago, I decided to just use windows defender + malware bytes for scanning so I don't crap it up with any software.
When I checked task manager, I see MSASCuiL pop up. I believe this is just what happens when you use windows defender as your anti-virus, but I didn't see it the first few times I opened task manager.

I'm assuming this is perfectly normal and I should just leave it?

Edit: I used autorun to delete the command, it looks like it's just a corrupt entry since it was not found in programs. This was safe to do?

try running
right click start button

choose powershell (admin)

type SFC /scannow and press enter

once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter

SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

and see if that helps, its odd for it to happen on a clean install

have you run a malware scan, i can see reference to a virus with same name

autoruns is safe, but if something needs file it will open it. better to fix than work around

I already removed it on startup, I think it was just something that happens when I was installing Malwarebytes, I should be fine.

it does seem to be a theme with it and malwarebytes

I don't use either of them. So I never seen it.

I used DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\ESD\Windows\sources\install.esd instead, that command nor DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth by itself works for some reason.

download iso to use as source or just use the install files on C?

did you get new installer when you clean installed?

I used a USB with windows ESD to do my clean install, I have no idea if that means it became encrypted into my drive, but the command I mentioned earlier worked.

i guess, really, we see if error returns before worrying about it further
