taskhostw.exe travando várias vezes por minuto com InputLocaleManager.dll como módulo de falha

Question

Há alguns dias, notei um aumento na atividade do disco no meu PC com Windows 10 Home, então verifiquei o monitor de recursos e descobri que havia alguns processos do Werfault.exe, escrevendo relatórios. Examinando os relatórios mostra que taskhostw.exe está falhando e InputLocaleManager.dll é o módulo defeituoso. O mesmo erro pode ser visto no Visualizador de eventos. Isso acontece a cada 8 segundos.

Eu tentei executar o sfc / scannow, que não encontrou nenhum problema, até mesmo renomei o InputLocaleManager.dll (no modo de segurança) e, em seguida, executei o sfc / scannow, que o encontrou ausente e substitui o arquivo, verifiquei para infecção por vírus / malware com o Windows Defender e o Malwarebytes, mas nenhum deles alterou nada.

Outra coisa estranha é que não consigo digitar na caixa de pesquisa do Windows (depois de pressionar Win-S, a caixa é aberta, o cursor pisca, mas nenhum pressionamento de tecla é exibido). O mesmo se aplica ao aplicativo Configurações. Em qualquer outro lugar, o teclado funciona normalmente, exceto por uma pequena intermitência a cada 8 segundos, quando o processo falha.

Alguém tem uma ideia, o que mais eu posso tentar ou onde procurar para resolver isso?
