What is Rundll32.exe and why has it started running in the background?
Hello,
From the last few days there is something bizarre happening with my Windows 10 Task Manager Rundll32.exe will start running in the background when I look at my Task Manager and will not disappear.
I have Windows 10 1903 for the last 1 month and I never noticed this, until a few days ago.
I'm completely confused as to what this is. It starts launching approximately after 2 hours and will remain there. This happened somewhere around the 18th of June.
"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" -localserver 22d8c27b-47a1-48d1-ad08-7da7abd79617
Autostart location. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89B4C1CD-B018-4511-B0A1-5476DBF70820}
I tried searching for this but I couldn't find much info. I think I started noticing this after I installed Diablo 2 and Splinter Cell 1 on the 18th of June. But I don't know if this is simply a coincidence. But it definitely seems a little bit strange as I have not noticed this behaviour prior to that.
Can someone tell me what is triggering this to launch after 2 hours?
