I am using Windows 10 64-bit
after Windows Update & restarting, Windows® installer (32 bit) keep running in the background.
In Task Manager, it only use <100kb Memory, but it makes my mouse pointer stuck in proccess mode(arrow with small sand clock).
In services.msc, Windows Installer Service not even started.
Tried stopping msiserver Service, not working too
Tried end task , it said "unable to terminate proccess"
Tried restart, it keep running again.
Tried this, still not fixed
Any other ideas ?
extra : it seems msiexec.exe PID in task manager keep changing, thats mean Windows keep starting msiexec.exe for what i don't know :/
