    Posted: 12 May 2020

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) 5.82 helps remove malicious software from computers running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008.

    Microsoft generally releases MSRT monthly as part of Windows Update or as the standalone tool. Use this tool to find and remove specific prevalent threats and reverse the changes they have made (see covered threats). For comprehensive malware detection and removal, consider using Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    This article contains information about how the tool differs from an antivirus or antimalware product, how you can download and run the tool, what happens when the tool finds malware, and tool release information. It also includes information for the administrators and advanced users, including information about supported command-line switches.

    Note In compliance with the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy, MSRT is no longer supported on Windows Vista and older platforms. For more information, go to Microsoft Support Lifecycle.

    Was wondering why it was stuck at Installing - 0% and task manager showed no activity. Plugged in my laptop and it instantly started up.

    Guess it won't run on battery power and only runs when connected to actual power.

    hmm indeed what is with the numbering this time around, instead of month/year?

    MRT has always had a version number. Perhaps they've just made it more obvious because, starting this month, MRT will only be issued every three months - see Remove specific prevalent malware with Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - MSSupport

    @bobcollard - Your email address is on display. Do yourself a favour by deleting the diagram from your last post.
    @katlani - Bob must be on Insider versons to have that version number [which is nothing to do with MRT anyway]. Please do him a favour by deleting his diagram from your last post.

    Installing - 0%
    complete coincidence. "Installing - 0%" is shows when MSRT is doing a quick scan. every time it updates. unnecessary, and uninformative because it shows as Installing - 0% until it finishes the scan. then it instantly jumps and finishes..
