    With your self-confessed level of experience at a maintenance level I see these options for you:

    • Have the machine serviced.
    • Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you.
    • Grant me access to your PC so that I can have a look at your problem.

    * Merged *

    I have unsuccessfully been asking for help for 4 weeks.  I am a family PC user, not an ADMIN or Tech.  I do not understand what task scheduler is and am unable to change it on my own.  

    The above error has been reported to have to do with Software Licenses, Task Scheduler, Maleware or Timezones.

    I purchased IoBit Driver Boost Software on 10/29/2017.  On 11/2/2017 I was informed I should not have bought this product.  After uninstalling this, I discovered tens of thousands of errors.  The other day I (11/19/2017) I discovered DriverBooster is still active in my task scheduler.  However, I uninstalled it (11/2)  I paid money for this program.  I called their tech support 3 hours ago. Now they are demanding money to help me remove it.  I paid for it and they want money to help me remove it - LOL?  Is this the cause of the error?  Please and assistance here.

    No one is helping :(  I am being told to go to TechNet and other places, no one is helping.  My task scheduler is set to "Automatic" and is stopped.  I do not know what Task Scheduler is.  I have tried to follow some steps.  But this is a standard home PC Win10 wired only with 1 other device attached (cable/ATT uverse).  I do not understand how a program I uninstalled 3 weeks ago is still showing up (See that one picture?)

    Tony,

    Until we can find a fix, there is the option to turn off the Log for that event.

    To do that go into the event viewer and go to the Security-SSP-UX-GenuineCenter-Logging / Operational log. Right click and select Disable Log

    Tony,

    I found some info on what SSP is:

    "Sppsvc.exe is a Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service, which is also referred to as sppsvc. It belongs to Microsoft Windows Operating System and is one of the integral parts of the Windows OS. The service is aimed at piracy prevention and software tampering protection, which helps to initiate licensing easier."

    I need to get some info on your build of Windows 10.

    Could you get me a screen shot of your Settings About Box?

    Thanks
