  1. I think I've found the problem through using a process monitor bootlog.
    Ekrn.exe first looks for epfwlwf.sys in the directory C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
    If the driver is not found, Ekrn then (and finally) looks for the driver in "C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Drivers\epfwlwf\EpfwLwf.sys". Obviously this path does not exist, hence installation fails.

    I created the path "C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Drivers\epfwlwf\EpfwLwf.sys" then rebooted and installation of epfwlwf succeeded.

     

     

  2. Win 7x64
    EIS 12.2.23.0

    I'm having a problem with getting the firewall and associated network protections to function.
    An error is logged: An error occurred during installation of the epfwlwf driver.

    I've tried (twice) removing EIS in safe mode using the ESET uninstaller and installing from scratch, but still the error remains.
    Any feedback to troubleshoot the problem would be appreciated.

    I enabled advanced logging, rebooted, disabled logging and ran ESET Log Collector. Logs attached.

    What I'm thinking is that a lot of people don't use multiple HDD's in their systems as a secondary storage and if they do they might be using quiet drives and  if you have 1 or 2 additional HDDs you wont hear much so they might not be aware of this issue.

    I've noticed the same issue, I just haven't got around to investigating it. BTW, hourly update also wakes my additional HDD.

    To run WPR you need to install the WPT (Windows Performance Toolkit) by downloading ADK from
