    Hi Hadir

    Try creating that file on your Desktop, then copy that file into C:\Windows\System32

    If that does not work for you, here is an alternate method:

    Click the link below to download a small free utility that does not require installation

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/d...

    When the file downloads, unzip it.

    Depending on your system, run Autoruns or Autoruns64 as Administrator

    With that utility, you can right click and delete any startup item in Windows

    Just be careful not to delete any required process . . . In the search box, type vbs and hit Enter

    If that see that maintenance.vbs file listed, untick that entry . . .

    Restart your PC . . .

    Hi Hadir

    This is very a common problem, that is left over from malware that has already bee deleted form your PC, the solution is to basically recreate that file and put an exit script into it

    Open Windows File Explorer

    On the View Ribbon, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items

    Navigate to:

    C:\Windows\system32

    If maintenance.vbs exists right click that and choose Edit

    Put this text in that file and save it:

    Wscript.Quit

    If that file does not exist, right click in that folder and choose New - Text Document

    Put this text in that file:

    Wscript.Quit

    Then click File - Save As

    At the bottom of the save as dialog, set save as type to *.*

    Save the files as maintenance.vbs

    Note you must enter the vbs file extension yourself

    Restart your PC

    hello i did all the steps except got stuck at the part to save its saying that i do not have permission to open this file. see the owner of this file or an administrator to obtain permission. i ran file explorer with admin right but when it comes to saving it opens a new window of file explorer and then doesnt let me save and gives the error i mentioned above
