C:\Windows10Upgrade - Is it malware?
Hello,
So today I booted my Win10 machine to find that it wanted to upgrade because it didn't have the latest security? Something like that...
I have to say, something about the UI looked...'off'...I think the MS logo was slightly blurred also which didn't help me believe it more than before.
Either way, I looked at the properties of the new 'Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant' executable that was on my desktop. The exe was located in: C:\Windows10Upgrade, it doesn't look quite right to me, and the fact that I could actually send this to the recycling bin with no issue also didn't seem right.
Just curious to understand why Windows 10 wanted to upgrade to windows 10 and why it is using that directory. VirusTotal scored a 0 and I really can't figure out if it's malware or not.
(Looked through some config files and it appeared legitimate. But can't be sure).
Any ideas?
Thanks.
