New notification. What is it?

coolnewyorker said:

For the second time, I reinstalled the program and restored some files and then uninstalled with Revo which I also uninstalled. I search my whole system for live update files and found none. And yet the notification keeps popping up on Start or Restart. Meanwhile, I do not notice any problem with the PC. It seems I am stuck with this annoying notification? My last option is reset W11 which btw I am not clear about: which is preferrable (1)cloud or (2)Local

Check the Startup Tab in Task Manager.

When using REVO Uninstaller, you need to run the "scan for leftovers" tool as well.

Be very careful not to disable/ delete things that you don't understand. Use Autoruns. Run a scan then filter select "eveything" tab then filter results to find startup entry or entries relating to liveupdate.exe

I am puzzled that I am having issues from a service or program (live update) that is nowhere in my system.

'IT' or a reference to 'IT' is clearly still on your system.

Much as I have blind faith in Revo, I have sometimes found the Geek Uninstaller will sniff out the occasional app that Revo can't see.

Download the Geek zip file, extract the geek.exe program and run it (doesn't install, runs in its own right)

If the program is not listed in the first window, View menu > Microsoft Store Apps

Double click to uninstall.

Liveupdate.exe could be used by any number of programs including IOBIT, Wise Folder Hider, Wise Disk Cleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner and maybe there are other programs that use an executable with the same name.

It's possible that it's a startup entry left behind after uninstalling a program or if your antivirus quarantined a program.

As stated use autoruns. Let it scan then type liveupdate into the search box and press enter.

Check the results.
