While looking through my services, I found this strangely named one:
Windows Push Notifications User Service _53bb4
That little "_53bb4" business at the end worries me. My system is using
a fairly fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. If I've already been infected
with some kind of malware, then I'm going to have to go back to Windows
7 or a version of Linux.
At this point I'm really hating Window 10, which has disabled my beloved scanner
and turned my expensive 5.1 speaker system into a 2.1 system
without any way to modify those settings.
At any rate, does anybody know what's going on with that strangely named service?

I can't check now on a Windows 10 system, but my Windows 11 system
has this service, with obviously a different 'number' at the end. The services.msc applet gives a bit of a description, but not very
meaningful.
Unless someone/something raises a red flag about it, I wouldn't worry
about it.

Which scanner and which software? My 2010 EPSON PERFECTION V30 scanner survived all the way from Windows Vista, via Windows 8.1 to now Windows
11.
and turned my expensive 5.1 speaker system into a 2.1 system
without any way to modify those settings.
Can't help with that.

Canon dropped support. That's not the fault of Windows 10.
Your scanner seems to be 2000/XP, so it's pretty old. But
companies vary quite a bit with support. I once had a motherboard
that I think was MSI. When I tried to get drivers for XP they said
it was unsupported. The chipset was Via. So I wen't to viaarena.com.
They had drivers and their site explained that it was the same driver
for all systems. MSI simply couldn't be bothered to support their
customers.
You won't be so lucky with your scanner. You'll probably just
have to buy new. I've been setting up a new Win10 system
recently, having been on XP now for 10+ years. My HP Envy
5660 all-in-one was bought for XP. But I checked their site
and they had Win10 drivers. Hopefully those will work.
Drivers are a funny thing. I don't understand why they're so
hard to make work in Windows, yet hardware support is nearly
invisible in Linux. Maybe it would be worth your while to install
a dual boot of Linux and see whether that works with your scanner.

I still have two or three functional XP computers. At this point, I can easily set one back up and hook the scanner to it to run the scanner.
Either that, or else I'll load another hard drive up with W7 and when I
need to run the scanner, I'll boot from that drive instead.

One without a number..the high level hosting the Notification Platform,
the other with a number suffix integrated with the platform but
specifically for the apps and programs. The number suffix is not
relevant to a specific item but globally applicable to all app/programs

i.e. Address the Settings and Notifications for the apps and programs,

I also noticed that "...w¡ñ§±¤ñ" didn't provide an explanation of how that number on the end of the service's name got there. (S)he also
didn't provide any explanation (if the number doesn't indicate malware)
of the purpose of that number.
