First, you need to know what dwm.exe is and what it is used for. DWM stands for Desktop Windows Manager, an essential process that is used to render the graphical user interface by Windows. If you try to disable DWM or it stops working, some Windows and application processes will not run and may get crash. Moreover, when you try to end task DWM, it won’t shut down, and when you open the task manager, you will see that the DWM process is still running.
Desktop Windows Manager has a .exe extension, which means it is an executable system file used for the system. All the system files are located in Windows 32.

Usually, scanning with Windows defender is enough to kick the malware from Windows, but as per the affected users, the Windows defender does not detect that virus. Hence, we need to use third-party antivirus software like Baidu Antivirus.
