Not here, I use Windows Pro 11 25H2 without any issue with all scene groups. Simply keep far away from sites that put garbage in your system or configure your firewall to work smoth with audio apps. If you use for games, cinema, adobe and pxrn, maybe can get all world issues... I recommend TinyWall, a bit complicated to configure but the most effective firewall to stop all malicious movements. Good luck!

 

Like "windows update", microsoft accounts, microsoft store, defender updates, etc, etc...

 

All I can say is:
MOCHA is a very trustworthy source.

If you get a 0x00000005 error, it's most likely because of some outdated runtime (vcredist/net framework)
or an old windows installation. You could check your windows event viewer for more details.

 

Since we are engaging in psychological analysis here...
(and don't get me started on professional vs amateur, considering the pathetic opinions of many professionals)
Judging from the clear explanations you give, you seem a careful and well-organized type of person.
Perhaps a bit TOO careful? Well, I find it hard to criticize anyone being VERY careful.
I am a bit OCD myself in some way...my own ways (that is, the ways that I care about and that are easy for me to be OCD about

Anyway, even careful people can go astray if they are missing one vital piece of information.
And sometimes "careful" people can go further astray than casual people, digging and chasing after things.

You confirmed that admin mode didn't help, but I suspect there is a piece to the puzzle missing.
The error code was cited by ArticStorm (oh how I wish he had chosen "ArcticStorm" ) as a clue to a write problem.

Perhaps admin mode is not enough and you need to change permissions on the folder affected?
I know that Windows 11 has had some annoying issues with permissions that Windows 10 did NOT have.
(my own experience running dual boot and recreating my Windows 10 setup on a new Windows 11 install)

[Edit: and as r4e mentioned runtimes, you can get a whole package of them from TechPowerUp:

]

The possibility that it's a bad crack or malicious gives a satisfying "solution" to the puzzle, but considering no one else is reporting such a problem...
When I run into these kinds of things, a thought goes through my head.
Either the whole world is crazy, or lazy, or sloppy... or everyone is lying...or perhaps...just maybe...maybe I am missing something.

So instead of making a long post regarding your ideas, why not a shorter post asking for help?

 

There's nothing to help with. This is not how you write a malware report. It's not how you *prove* anything.

When you claim something is malware, you are not asking for assistance to get it working, because that would make you look extremely foolish. "If it works, I guess it isn't the malware I claim to be reporting". Those two things have nothing to do with one another.

No Information Technology Professional or Information Security Professional would ever post this kind of garbage "report" without all their ducks in a row. This is Amateur Hour at the Apollo. Even most amateurs can read a Virus Total output. Maybe he can change his username to Stevie Wonder.

worried Person: It could be!

AI: No it can not be!

Spectators: I wonder who is right?

 

Something occured to me. Synapse is the most aggresive, angry, and spiteful anti pirate organization (possibly) in the vst world. Add that to your lenses to see this through, I say.

 

Please Update:

.NET Framework (e.g., version 3.5 or 4.8)
Many programs (e.g., older software) require it to run.
