Hello, I am using Spybot Home edition with Windows 10.

Lately in the last 4 System Scans, Spybot couldn't finish the scan, it stuck at the end and wouldn't show any results for me to fix, which I have no problem in the past. I got an error window with this message: Some operation could not be performed because the system is out of resources. Close some windows and try again.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Spybot, same error. How could I fix it?

Any suggestions and/or comments are much appreciated.

Thank you.

Try booting into safe mode and running the Spybot scan, see if it will complete without the error message that way. Instructions to boot into safe mode below if you need them, please don't choose the safe mode with networking option:

Let me know how it goes. :)

I did another scanning last night and it finished and I was able to fix all the issues found. I have no idea what happened. It seems that sometimes Spybot runs smoothly and sometimes not.

Glad to hear the scan completed and you were able to fix what was found. Please post back here again if you have problems with it again. :)

I never dared to reinstall Windows 10 Home to version 11, is it really worth doing? But for the future I will know that such a situation may arise.
