taskhostw.exe writes a PE file (see the classic TVqQAAMAAAA sequence there) inside the UCPD\DR registry key?

Microsoft implemented a driver-based protection to block changes to http/https and .pdf associations by 3rd party utilities, the so-called UCPD driver (UserChoice Protection Drive).

Windowsに「デフォルトのブラウザをMicrosoft Edgeから変更できないようにするドライバー」が配信されていたことが判明
Microsoftは、Google Chromeのダウンロードを中止するように促すメッセージを出したり、チャットAI「りんな」を動員したりと、Microsoft Edge以外のブラウザを使おうとするユーザーをなりふり構わず引き留めることで知られています。そんなMicrosoftが、Windows 10とWindows 11のデフォルトブラウザの設定を変更できないようにするドライバーを、2024年2月のWindows更新プログラムで導入していたことが発覚しました。

Windows上のドライバを調べたところ、プロパティに「UserChoice Protection Driver」と記載のある「USPD.sys」というドライバが見つかった...
2月の更新で導入されたもので、http、httpsのプロトコルのほかにも、.pdfの関連付けの変更もブロックしていたという。
　再起動と管理者権限、PowerShellでのスクリプトの実行によってUSPD.sys自体の無効化は可能だが、タスク スケジュールも設定されているため、ドライバを再度有効にするスケジュールも停止することで、ようやく完全な無効化ができるとしている。
Windows、外部ツールを使った標準Webブラウザの変更をドライバで阻止か - PC Watch
　Windowsに、デフォルトWebブラウザ設定を外部ツールで変更できなくするドライバが導入されているとして、Christoph Kolbicz氏が4月3日に詳細を報告した。
