Answer 2

Hi,
Firstly, you could try to check the permission below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InputPersonalization\TrainedDataStore\en-US\2 registry key."
Give the full control permission.
If the issue still insists, I suggest that check for update. If you could find new security update, installing them.
Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
Best Regards,
Carl

This disgusting process is running all the time! I tried add permissions and sync setting is disabled both in gpedit and in registry, yet it runs all the time... Is it okay in case of this process to rename its exe, so it doesn't start in the first place??? I Am on Windows 10 Pro. THANKS!
