Thanks for the idea Cheesy

. Can you kindly give me more info about Linux OS?
And I don't think that disk was licensed because that disk I bought it only for 0.40$ in 2018. I usually update my os after setup.

Try Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or 22.04 LTS (https://ubuntu.com/#download). It's one of the user-friendly distributions of Linux for someone new to Linux. I personally use it. It's also easier to get help or support from other members in different forums if you happen to get a problem as compared to other distros.

Creating a bootable CD or USB plus installation is very easy if you follow instructions from different YouTube videos.

Best of it. It's free Wink

I think you can find out how many and which Linux distributions exist on Wikipedia. There are so many user-friendly systems for the average user that will work right out of the box. Look for examples like MX Linux or Mint. It is difficult to describe all the advantages of such systems in one post, but the first thing you can try is to see how they work by first installing one of them on a virtual machine, such as VirtualBox. On it, it was possible to practice the installation of Linux.

As for your Windows system, bought for 40 cents, it's hard to say whether it is licensed, even allowing for updates.

Oh, how I understand and know you. There is a lot of information circulating that both Windows 10 and subsequent versions, as well as previous versions, are full of holes. I was just as paranoid, and every new process in the system made me anxious. I still stand by my opinion. Don't be complacent that you can trust Microsoft. Any .exe process can be called a Windows process, although it could easily be a scanning virus.
OP, first, take the time to learn about Linux systems. In addition to being very light on resources, they are more secure. Split your physical drive in two, leave Windows for fun, and trust Linux systems for everything serious.
And yes, the question is, are you using a licensed disk?

Yes I also think that the hacker set a invisible broker Which will reactive after the windows os setup . In my opinion you should follow these steps:

Firstly install the os again
After that without inputting any kind of info/data in your computer brought a good paid Antivirus , you can also choose from below.
Bitdefender
Webroot
Norton
Abine Blur
Avast AntiTrack
And if you find something then remove those
Even then antivirus is not worked then format your drive or for backup use a new storage device.

Uninstall the apps you are not using.

Now about the stealing of data of these apps, well, that's how microsoft works lol, esp. the annoying continuos update. No matter how you disable it MS will enable it later on.

So linux is the recommended OS for those privacy cautious people.

As said above, do a virus scan. If you've got something important you really need, back it up before on a brand new drive and dump the drive somewhere for if and when you need it (and try not to use it and when you do pull your hard drive out and run a live os to plug it into - the easiest way to do this is to burn a ubuntu ISO to a new DVD).

Once you've run a virus scan, backup anything you don't want to lose (after you've backed up everything you want or need to keep in the step above). You could also wait a while before accessing your files as there's a greater chance antivirus software has spotted the threat in 6 months if it's something quite new (they're more likely to be able to have heuristic detection too by then).

If you've caught a lot of viruses over the years then you'll be better off getting a separate machine for handling money and one for installing random things/visiting untrusted websites.

edit: every time when download some unusual software from an unverified site, I must first test it through Virustotal.

If you run software from publishers you don't trust, I'd recommend learning how to use virtual machines to sandbox them. It's really simple to do now (as long as your processor is compatible) and you can get free versions of most major operating systems now (including Windows).

The image shows a few software on your PC that use runtime broker, why not disable or uninstall those apps?

If you can't able to remove the runtime broker try to disable it check the guide from this link below.

- https://thegeekpage.com/how-to-disable-runtime-broker-to-fix-high-cpu-usage-on-windows-10/

In addition, install Kaspersky and try to restrict/put runtime broker and other software to the blocked list. It also helps you to protect your PC from any malware and viruses.

It's clear that whatever is affecting your PC is right there in your PC,
I'd suggest you do a proper clean up of the system, Uninstall all Windows application and get something new to the system, format your hard and disk drive as well, Watch the kind of elements or devices you connect I to your system, stop installing pirated application from unverified source into your system. I believe if you take all of this procedures and follow up with the guidelines, you would be absolutely free from all of this

I think you are probably being paranoid due to the previous experience, which is OK. Runtime broker is a legit Microsoft Windows process is responsible for managing the permissions for the apps you download from Microsoft Store.

More info: What Is Runtime Broker (runtimebroker.exe) Process Doing On My Windows 10 PC?

Also, seeing multiple runtime broker processes in the task manager is something normal.

Use a better OS for managing your funds and wallets other than windows, as advised.

There's a reason why runtime broker is showing and there's likely an app that forces it to appear. There are viruses that are attacking the hardware and if you've reinstalled/reformatted your PC already and yet it still exists.

You need to replace your hard drive or ssd.

Windows 10 has windows defender, try to scan it there first and if nothing has been found, use another anti-virus like malwarebytes or eset nod32.

since that problem always comes back to you, I assume that the malicious file is somewhere in your documents, the ones you don't delete when reinstalling the OS. or maybe you always install some application that you are used to using, and with it, you also get this malware.
You need to know, RuntimeBroker.exe is a regular Microsoft process, and it is in the folder where you tried to delete it C:\Windows\System32\.
It often happens that malicious software uses the same name as Microsoft processes in order to make their recognition more difficult, so check location C:\WINDOWS\(computer name)\RuntimeBroker.exe and it is probably that harmful file. (Enable show hidden files)

Also, try to scan the system and all your files with some Malware removal tools. I would use several different ones.

I would suggest to use Linux instead of the shitty M$.
There are just too many holes and "back doors“ so your data is naver safe and I gave up following that drama.
Use the windows only for gaming, that's what is made for, at least for me, for the rest there are always alternatives.

Here once again I am come back to the old topic I think they are continuously stealing my data even then reinstalling the OS , for more clearout kindly visit my this topic

help needed I got attacked by hacker???
Now they are attacking again. I think they have set some virus files on my drive that act as brokers as you can see in the pictures below. Runtime Broker is opening with almost every important software, and besides where I only have two or three tabs open in the browser here it shows around ten and more tabs opened.

Two questions came to my mind while opening this thread and that is

As Runtime broker has been made by Microsoft so it's not supposed to be harmful!
But again, broker running with each software in an unusual way and logging out of the software or suspending the software is also suspicious.

I had also tried to delete that file via the cmd command but the command denied

Now what can be the solution, they are already starting to access many of my exchangers and wallets. Besides, Google accounts are trying a lot to get access. If I install the operating system again, and if the same problem occurs, I request all of you to help with a permanent solution, If any antivirus works then suggest it. Thanks to all.
