    Windows 10 forget folder view setting when ESS is installed

    in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium & ESET Security Ultimate

    Posted · Edited by Pando

    I'm using ESET Endpoint Antivirus version 5.0.2214.4, Cleaner module 1113.

     

    It is compatible with Windows 10 according your website:

    hxxp://support.eset.com/kb3747/

    ​

    ESET Endpoint Security / ESET Endpoint Antivirus 5.0.2126 and later 5.x builds

Yes, you can upgrade to Windows 10 now

    The problem is still there in this build, and I have also tried Cleaner module 1114 (EDIT: it was a pre-release version 1114).

     

    Please issue a fix for this software, or update your website reflecting that it's NOT IN FACT COMPATIBLE.

     

    Thank you.

    Just for giggles I tried to set permissions to those keys so System would not be able make changes to the key - no luck. Even with explicit write deny permissions for "System", ekrn.exe (which invokes the System) is still changing the key. Windows must have a global override.

     

    So for now I just modified the permissions so I can still change the keys quickly myself with an exported registry file. Since Windows reads these values only once upon login, I need to execute the reg file before I log off. It's a pain, but much faster than manually modifying the keys all the time. One of these days I'll set up a script or batch file that runs this automatically upon logoff.

     

    I also verified with a plain Windows 10 machine without ESET that both registry keys are set to %SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll

     

    Here is the reg file contents:

     

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    Here is what I found:

     

    The instructions in the preceding posts indicate that two registry keys need to be changed:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\(Default)​

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\(Default)​
    ​

    I changed the values on both to:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll​

     

    and rebooted. This fixed it temporarily, but upon the next reboot they were changed back again to the previous values (shell32.dll), and the desktop icon problem was BACK.

     

    So, I went back to the registry and changed them as follows:

     

    On this key:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\(Default)​​

    I changed the value to:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll​

     

    and this key:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\(Default)​​

    I changed it to:

    %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\windows.storage.dll​

     

    I've rebooted several times now and the problem is now gone. The registry values seem to stick.

     

    I hope this helps someone, as it was certainly frustrating, and I hope someone at ESET can supply a permanent fix.

     

    EDIT: NEVER MIND of the above, it still reverted back to shell32.dll after several reboots and waiting longer....
