@ Pravee,

HANDS DOWN, MATE, YOU ARE THE “ONLY” PERSON WHO HAS PROVIDED A CORRECT SOLUTION (iM TYPING IN CAPS ON PURPOSE =D):

(Here’s STEP 5: CORRECTLY EXPAINED)

Manual Removal

1. Open Start >> Run. This will open run window.

2. Type “regedit” (without quotes) and press enter. This will launch registry editor.

( If you are not able to launch Registry by the command above, you can refer to this post to know how can you enable regedit again.)

3. Navigate to the following registry path:

4.\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIN\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\WINLOGON

5. Right Click: “Shell” and select “modify”, you’ll see you entries like this: “Explorer.exe Scvhost.exe” (without quotes), REMOVE “Scvhost.exe” and click ok, reboot, you’re done! =D

[...] This problem occurs due to remaining registry entries for missing executable files which are usually viruses removed by your antivirus softwares. You can remove such errors by registry cleaning. See this article for the solution : Windows Can Not Find svchost.exe [...]

I cannot repair this issue I have every time I start my computer. I’ve attempted to find these keys but without luck. Any other help would be appreciated.
