Host Process For Windows Taskhostw.exe Stopped Working: Event ID 1000

Anonymous

I noticed upon checking my Event Log Applications and my Reliability Monitor I have been getting this critical error about every 2 to 3 days now on my HP Omen i7 -16 GB Mem - Nvidia GEForce GTX 1070 on Win10 Home 64 bit and this did not start happening until I updated to v1903 on May 30^th^ . My build is 18362.239. Could someone please advise me as how to resolve this or MS deploy a fix for this. It appears I am not the only one getting these. I have reported this through the Feedback Hub. I have run all three DISMs, SFC, Malwarebytes, Norton and I turned on Windows Defender long enough for a quick scan and no problems seen. It appears this is a scheduled task that keeps failing instead of running to completion.

Hello Camilla. No it does not sound like a solution. I think you will have more problems than you do now with this error if you do that. This is a fix that MS has to address and deploy a fix and I know they are looking into it. There are to many members here having this problem. You have to be careful of some of the information being handed out. My advice Carmilla is to just wait for the fix. I am still getting them every other day but thankfully I have not seen any problems with my computer. A Developer said the reason it is happening is that a task is scheduled to run every other day but something is preventing it and thus it crashes. Reinstall/repair windows with media creation tool is not the answer and you could lose valuable files. It is also a long process. I will let you know if I see or hear anything. Here is a link to another thread about this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/host-process-for-windows-tasks-stopped-working/3133b1f2-1512-4511-8342-b7a2e163c869 if you want to read the comments.

See you later.

Don

Thank you so much Michael for your input and letting us know you are also having the problem as well. Would you please file a bug problem through the Feedback Hub if you have not already done so. The more we report this problem the more likely we will draw the attention of the engineers that something is wrong and needs to be addressed.
