    Problem STOPPING TrustedInstaller.exe.


    I have a script that runs SFC etc.

    After SFC has finished running, if I run SFC again, it DOESN'T delete the two files in the CBS folder using the code below . . .
    Code:
    if exist "%windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS_ERRORS.txt" (del /s /f /q "%windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS_ERRORS.txt" >nul 2>&1)
    if exist "%windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" (del /s /f /q "%windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" >nul 2>&1)
    However, if I end the TrustedInstaller.exe process in Task Manager and then run the script again, it WORKS!

    Although I DON'T want to delete the CBS folder, as a test, I also tried running . . .
    Code:
    if exist "%windir%\Logs\CBS" (del /s /f /q "%windir%\Logs\CBS" >nul 2>&1)
    if exist "%windir%\Logs\CBS" (rmdir /s /q "%windir%\Logs\CBS" >nul 2>&1)
    Again, this only WORKS if I end the TrustedInstaller.exe process in Task Manager and then run the script again.

    I also tried with the line . . .
    Code:
    net stop TrustedInstaller
    . . . at the beginning of BOTH of the above but for some reason it seemed to hang on the stopping process with an ever increasing line of dots in the cmd prompt!

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE:

    It may be the fact that I need to leave it for several minutes before running the script again with the net stop TrustedInstaller.exe line at the beginning of the first code above!

    I will further investigate this theory later.

    I am preparing to travel home today as I have been in lockdown at my Sister's for 10 weeks!
    I will try that later and get back to you.
    Thanks again!

    Brilliant!

    I changed it slightly to . . .

    Code:
    taskkill /im trustedinstaller.exe /f 1>nul 2>nul
