[snoopdogg]

i have two
logonui.exe files on my pc?

one in the system32 folder

and the other in the winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-authentication-logonui
folder

is that normal? malwarebtyes drweb, avast dont find anything on full scan

Should be two of every file in Winsxs. Because they are hard links, the same file with a different name. (Its not a duplicate file. They are the same file.)

meaning if one is in system 32 folder and the other in a winsxs folder by itself
then all is well ?

Do they have the same size? You can upload one in winsxs or both to the virustotal.com for malware check. Also have a look at the link LogonUI.exe Windows process - What is it?
