I have disabled HIPS and now things work as intended. Guess I'll work this way for now as I really need a productive system.

Lemme explain the title further here. I know it's too vague. The exact situation: I'm on Windows 10 with WSL2 running. I'm using ESS premium. I have Rust (programming language, not the game) installed on Windows. I tried to open CLion and open a Rust project on WSL filesystem (through \\wsl$\). CLion starts to index the project. After a little while, the whole system becomes pretty much unresponsive - new processes could be created, but stuck for at least 5-10 seconds or longer (even several minutes have been observed) before they actually start to run. Why I know it's an ESET issue? I tried to inspect the stack of the stuck process (I know I shouldn't be able to, but trust me I did succeed once), and the stack shows the the ESET driver is waiting for something in OS kernel. (eset component dll, ekrn, then OS kernel on some synchronize calls. Now thinking about it, the screenshot here could be very helpful in debugging the issue, but unfortunately I didn't do that.) Also, when everything is stuck, I tried to change some ESET settings, but when saving the changes, ESET itself stuck as well. When it unstuck, everything becomes normal again. I've failed to pinpoint on any of the protection feature. I guess the mapping of eset component dll -> feature is also a secret. What should I do now to investigate it further? Is there any specific logging I need to do?

Oh it's in the HIPS settings, I was completely missing it before. Thanks for the timely answer!

Is there a way to hide the desktop notifications based on message types? Currently it seems we can only control the verbosity, however many programs will trigger "Modify startup settings" notification and it's pretty noisy both visually and audibly. I specifically don't want to adjust the verbosity, as when LiveGuard blocks a unknown file, the only notification is on the same level of verbosity as the aforementioned one (Informative), and I will need to use the notification to unblock files that I'm sure are safe. (I can't find another way to do that besides through the desktop notification.) Also, is it possible to mute the desktop notifications? As mentioned above, the notifications are with sounds, and that tend to be too noisy sometimes.
