  1. I have recently been having the failed to create rule issue, so I tried a few things and eventually hit upon this. It seems that part of eset is trying to run with less than full admin level powers. 1- go to directory eset is installed into, such as "C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security" for smart security. 2- locate the gui interface, such as for smart security, "egui.exe". 3- right click on it / properties / compatibility / set to run as administrator. apply. ok. 4- right click on it again, copy. 5- find empty spot on desktop. right click. paste shortcut. 6- run the shortcut, to make sure it is running. 7- task manager, however you get to it, Ctrl-alt-del or right click task bar or whatever. 8- locate the eset gui in task manager and 'end task' on it, to make sure the process is ended. running the shortcut the first time makes sure it was running so that you can find it to end it. 9- run the shortcut again. now when it runs, you should be able to get the popups to create rules. and at least for me now, until eset updates again, I have to keep the gui running minimized in order to be able to get the popups to create rules. It is what I did and what works for me. posting here in case at a later point someone else gets the same issue and wants a possible fix to try. sometimes finding a part of a program component and selecting it to run as administrator in properties gets around windows hiccups.
