Ihr habt keine agmservice-Probleme. Wie sonst sollen denn die hinzugekommenen Dateien für Adobe Organizer überwacht werden. Blöd ist nur, dass er nur mit dem lokalen System-Account läuft und demzufolge keine Netzwerkfreigaben, die nicht für "Jeder" freigegeben sind, überwachen kann. Matthias Steller

Best practices for resolving AGMService issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with AGMService. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
To help you analyze the AGMService.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries.
