taskkill.exe - error on shutdown - can ASC fix ?

[scanreg]

win 8.1

 

i keep getting a taskkill.exe error on shutdown

 

i found some third-party tools that are supposed to fix it (but i'm not gonna try them)

 

the discussion i found mentions that the taskkill.exe errors could be due to registry errors or malware

 

can ASC fix taskkill.exe errors?

 

thanks

Did you run a malware program to test for malware?

Did you run a registry clean with ASC?

[scanreg]

yes, both, asc plus iobit makware fighter

 

ran malwarebytes too

 

still happens

Hi scanreg,

 

The taskkill.exe is a system file, please kindly contact Microsoft for help.

 

We will surely check and improve ASC to help on such issues.

 

Thanks for your understanding.:-)
