Hey fellow admins! I'm curious if anyone here is using Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security (WFBS) on Windows 11 versions 24H2 or 25H2. I've been monitoring for any issues and noticed that taskhostw.exe is crashing, showing up as event ID 1000 in the Event Viewer. Does anyone else see this on their systems, or could it just be an issue specific to my setup? Also, just a side note, Windows 11 version 23H2 isn't affected. Thanks for your help!

We're using Trend Micro Apex One instead of WFBS, but each workstation has the SecurityAgent running and we have a SmartScan Server set up on-prem. Luckily, we haven't faced any issues lately. Trend Micro is generally pretty responsive when you open a ticket, but they've had some updates in the past that could’ve used more testing.
I've got around 125 endpoints running TM WFBS, with about 25% on version 25H2 and the rest on 24H2. I checked six random endpoints and haven’t seen any crash reports related to taskhostw.exe. Everything seems fine on my end!
Thanks a lot for checking! Do your systems have the latest Windows patch installed?
