SettingsSyncHost.Exe APPCrash keeps happening

#1 Post by Akira110 »

I've been minding my own business after refreshing my computer and not installing anything third party, then I get an alert that says SettingSyncHost.exe APPCRASHed. So I tell it to stop the process, think things are done. It pops up minutes later. So I update my computer, STILL pops up. So I run /sfc scannow, no issues. I run an image scan on my computer, no anomalies. I run checkdisk, no anomalies. I run a Malware scan. NO anomalies STILL. So I turn off skydrive. Is there any way to fix this other than having skydrive off?

I you have a windows 8, it can comes from here :
This executable is a genuine part of MS Windows, Host Process for Setting Synchronization. It is responsible for synchronization of user system setting within all user's computers and Windows installations. User can find the global settings of this feature in -> PC Settings and there go to the "Sync your Settings" section. There are on/off switches for all the different items user can choose to sync. Here user can simply set off the setting he/she doesn't want to synchronize.

I did that, I just don't know which part of what setting is causing the issue. I don't mind the thing being on so much, even if it does slow down my computer.

Update: I had to reset my ENTIRE OS. Fortunately I had the foresight to backup what was important to me, so score.
