    Hi Aryan,

    Read access is enough. Please run the following fixlist.

    • Download fixlist.txt
    • Save Fixlist.txt to the folder where EnglishFRST64.exe is located.
    • Close all program windows.
    • Launch the Farbar Scanner tool and click "Fix".
    • Upload the output log file (FixLog.txt) to your OneDrive.
    • Restart Windows when prompted.

    Hi Aryan,

    Task.vbs may have been added by malware, and subsequently, your antivirus deleted it. The orphaned entry needs to be cleared.

    Please run the Farbar Scanner and share your logs.

    1. Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST64.exe)
    2. If the OS language is non-English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe.
    3. Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".
    4. Upload the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to your OneDrive and share the link here.

    (How-To: Share OneDrive files and folders - Microsoft Support)

    Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.
