svchost.exe system error on login
I have a fresh installed Windows 10--wiped everything before installing it. Now, for the first time ever, when I log in I get the follow message
The system detected an overrun of a stack=based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.
Do I have a memory leak somewhere somehow? What could be the cause when Windows is fresh installed? Ideas on how to fix it?
I search a bit online, and have tried the following with no success
sfc /scannow
DISM /online /cleanup-image/ restorehealth
The last post I checked suggested doing a Windows Repair Upgrade
using the Technical Preview
tool. I would like to avoid doing that if possible. Lastly, I have checked all svchost.exe
services in Task Manager
and confirm that they are all in my C:WindowsSYSTEM32
so no virus here.

Have you checked autoruns to see if there is a rogue svchost executable?

No, that's beyond my skill level! How do I do that?

Download autoruns from live.sysinternals.com and run it. Use the options to hide Microsoft entries and the search for svchost.

How do I tell if there is a rouge svchost executable? Am I looking for something specific?

Ram failure can throw this error, test your ram either from the bios or use this bootable program...memtest.org
