Hello,
I've tried to install ESS 9.0.377.0 on my new HP laptop but it appears that either the network protection is incorrectly installed or ESS is incorrectly reporting the status. I am presented with the images attached.
I've tried a complete uninstall, clearing up any left over entries in C:\ and also the registry, then reinstalling without any success. Also i've tried to run a setup repair from "program and features" with no effect. In addition enabling pre-release updates has little effect on this issue.
The system is an AMD A10-8700P, running Win 10 Pro x64. No other security software is present on the system other than win defender and win firewall both of which have not been altered. Device drivers are fully updated.
If any logs or system dumps are required I will be more than happy to supply the information.
Regards.
