The genuine LSC.exe file is a software component of Lenovo Solution Center by Lenovo Group. On Lenovo-branded computers, "LSC.exe", when found in "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Solution Center", is Lenovo's central system health and security monitoring hub which since 2012 has been preloaded on laptop and desktop systems with Windows 7 and higher, both 32 and 64 bit, including IdeaCentre, select Ideapads, ThinkPad, ThinkPad Tablet, ThinkCentre and ThinkStation. (Lenovo Solution Center screens look different on each product line.) It can be uninstalled via the Control Panel by selecting "LENOVO". Under Win10, LSC can conflict with Avast antivirus causing a BSOD saying "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE". If so, uninstall Avast. To update LSC, Lenovo provides a download link for a fresh copy. On non-Lenovo PCs, or if the "LSC.exe" process is in "C:\Program Files\LSC", it is probably a keystroke monitor/logger by LouYue Software Development Co., of LouDi, Hunan, China, identified as malware by at least seven antivirus programs. Uninstall "LSC" in the Control Panel.

Best practices for resolving LSC issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with LSC. 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 LSC.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.
