Eset has now informed me that version 12.2.29 is ready to install. The folder C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security\Updates now contains both upgrade files (118 upcu files for the 12.2.28 and 118 upcu files for the 12.2.29 and the xml file). However, the xml file only refers to the new upcu files for the 12.2.29. The others will probably simply be deleted during the installation. :-)

Thank yo very much, Marcos. This is the behavior of the program I expected before.

The calculations are expected to run for at least 6 weeks. Hopefully this will go well. 😟 In the future I will deactivate program updates before. Edit: What will happen if I deactivate the program updates now and then switch back to the regular update channel?

So a reboot in a few weeks will definitely first install the 12.2.28.0 which is waiting for a reboot?

Yes, I can't restart for a few weeks but Eset can still be used during this time and won't restart the computer by itself. It's just a general question if Eset revokes an upgrade due to problems and releases a new upgrade. I saw a message from you in the forum before, that 12.2.28 has been released. But since someone reported problems with 12.2.28, your post has disappeared.

Because of this: I'm on the test update channel. The upgrade files are in this folder: C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security\Updates For versions higher than 12.2.28, the upgrade mechanism could simply replace these files as long as no reboot to install 12.2.28 has been done. Would it not be possible to boot into Windows SafeMode and delete the folder "Update" to prevent the upgrade?

I didn't click anything. The upgrade was downloaded in the background. But it certainly doesn't make any difference. If there was a newer version before the reboot (e.g. 12.2.30), would the upgrade files be replaced from 12.2.28 to 12.2.30 before the reboot so that 12.2.28 would be skipped?

Eset reports that it needs a system restart for the update to 12.2.28. Is it possible to cancel the upgrade? I can't restart the system for the next weeks anyway and maybe there will be a corrected version.

Tested today: Regular updates are still at 1195. Does anyone with regular updates have a version above 1195? Edit (09/21/2019): The cleaner version is officially still 1195 with the regular updates.

Yes: https://help.eset.com/eis/12/en-US/idh_page_scheduler.html https://help.eset.com/eav/12/en-US/idh_page_scheduler.html

Eset scans the start files after every successful update.

See this posting from me: I didn't have any problems with 1199. The problem occurred with switching back to 1195 and unfortunately remains now after I am back to 1199 (without restarting the operating system). 1199 only protects against new locks but doesn't unlock existing ones.

I know, and after a few minutes I had changed back to the test updates with cleaner module 1199, but the registry keys still remain locked.

I thought that now with the regular updates at least the cleaner module 1197 would be available and so I changed back to it. But it's still on 1195! Now I unfortunately have 3 applications with the locked registry keys and I probably can't restart the system for the next 2 month because big calculations are running which will probably take so long. :-| Edit: I have created a batch file that should delete all folders and their files (except the RegHive files) of these sandboxes with a double click. @echo off FOR /D /R "C:\Sandbox\username\sandboxname1" %%x IN (*) DO rd "%%x" /s /q FOR /D /R "C:\Sandbox\username\sandboxname2" %%x IN (*) DO rd "%%x" /s /q FOR /D /R "C:\Sandbox\username\sandboxname3" %%x IN (*) DO rd "%%x" /s /q

Hm, I cannot confirm this under Windows 7 (x64) and EIS 12.2.23 with the cleaner module 1199.
