wilco! thx for the assistance, @harlan4096!

Sorry @harlan4096, just noticed the process is gone again..... :s

FTM everything seems to work fine. my settings were retained, and the avpui.exe process hasn't disappeared since the reinstall. I'm not gonna close this for a few more days, because sometimes it took a bit longer, but it's looking promising, thank you, @harlan4096

clean install done..... crossing fingers and stuff

that was an upgrade from KIS, affirm. the weird thing is it's working fine up until a certain point, can be hours, but also days. I'll see if I can back up my config and do a clean install!

as said, i've already checked the usual suspects, physical issues can be ruled out. other security solutions.... the only thing is a NordVPN subscription, which isn't active (also not as a background service), so I guess we can discard that?

When using my computer, at apparently random times, the icon disappears from the taskbar, and the PC tells me Windows will be taking over. Sometimes the avpui.exe process is still running, sometimes it's gone. But it seems pretty much that the system runs unprotected from that time on. Only thing that helps is reboot the PC, after which the icon reappears. Since it seems random, i can't reproduce it happening, but would love to have a solution. Oh, the usual suspects are already eliminated, like bad sectors, corrupt windows files, that sort of thing... eternal + 2 days of gratitude for the winning solution!

@Igor Kurzin just tried the workaround of deleting the reports files, and for now, it seems to work again. thx very much for the tip, hope it lasts! grtz, Serge

Hello @Jojo Mojo, since a few days, i've the same issue as you and nothing seems to work but to disable KIS, which of course is NOT something we're gonna do. very unfortunate how little response this gets... i've at least identified 3 other posts about the same issue, so i'm pretty confident this is not just a local issue. hope they fix it fast, because either my apps should go, or the antivirus solution, this can't keep on going. some courage for us and happy holidays! grtz, Serge
