    hi davem please share me the details .

    this method is working but

    why system give that error message?

    The error was triggered by a malicious scheduled task entry named "Window Update".

    Download Malwarebytes and run a full scan.

    And then do the following:

    From admin Command Prompt, run these four commands:

    del "%LocalAppData%\Updates\Run.vbs"

    schtasks /delete /tn "\Window Update" /f

    schtasks /delete /tn "\Windows Service Task" /f

    rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Updates"

    Pls post a screenshot of the output window.

    Note: Microsoft Defender needs to be fixed after doing the above. The Run.vbs virus would have deleted Defender in most cases.

    its very much possible that your device was exposed with some kind of malware but it could not accomplish its mission cuz of your anti virus removed it already, but it left its signature to run the malware every time whenever you start the device.
