Administrators Marcos 5,407 Posted July 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2018 As for notifications about missing updates, my Windows 10 is currently fully up to date so I can't test it right now. However, I don't think that any changes have been made in this regard that could stop the notifications from working. Re. notifications about module updates, if you installed v11.2.49 from scratch you need to enable them in the advanced update setup. They are disabled by default.

Take a look at this KB https://help.eset.com/essp/11.1/en-US/idh_config_windows_update.html I use Win 7 and receive notifications via Windows update and EIS. This is my current setup in EIS.

camelia 6 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Hello, This is the @itman settings, about getting notifications about successful updates, because I still not see them in the lower corner of my screen On 6/6/2018 at 5:52 PM, itman said: Make sure "Disable notification about successful update" is unchecked as shown in the below screenshot: This is my setting: NOW... Find the differences ? Since EIS never notified me about KB4345421, I have changed from critical updates to important updates... Are this settings OK for the next patch Tuesday? I am so upset and disappointment about this issue that I had to call ESET Mexico support, BUT they are clueless about their own products!! ??

itman 1,789 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 As far as Win Update notifications in Eset 11.2.49, I also have not been receiving any. I have that setting currently set to "recommended" and did not receive any notification in Eset about the last Win 10 1803 cumulative update which was a recommended one. On the other hand, Win 10 1803 Win Update feature didn't auto download this latest update or notify of its existence either. So the problem might be in Win 10 1803 itself and possibly other OS versions. Or, with the Microsoft Win Update servers for that matter. It goes without saying that Microsoft has totally screwed up the entire Win Updating processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomFace 539 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) I never said you had an error. I only thought if the duration was too short or the transparency too dim you may not have seen it (the notification) in time or only as a ghost image. I think your settings should be OK. Here are mine just for comparison: I have my verbosity set to "informative". https://help.eset.com/eav/11.1/en-US/idh_config_alert.html •Diagnostic – Logs information needed to fine-tune the program and all records above. •Informative – Records informative messages, including successful update messages, plus all records above. •Warnings – Records critical errors and warning messages. •Errors – Errors such as "Error downloading file" and critical errors will be recorded. •Critical – Logs only critical errors (error starting antivirus protection, etc...). Actually, due to your thread I just realized that I also was not seeing update notifications...with the upgrade to 11.2.49.0 (a clean install) I forgot to re-enable the update notifications (in the "Updates" section under My Profile) as the default is off/notifications disabled (I believe). So thanks to you! Best regards. Edited August 1, 2018 by TomFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running Win 10 x(64) 1803 and Eset IS ver. 11.2.49. To begin with you mention "module updates" and then post a screen shot showing a virus definition update notification alert. Module and virus definition updates are separate activities; see my below posted screen shot. You should be receiving Eset virus signature updates periodically during the day as shown in the screen shot. Eset module updates only occur as needed. I have only received two since July 18th. First check your Event log for "Detection Engine" update entries as shown in the above screen shot. If none are shown since Aug. 1, then open the Eset GUI and click on the "Update" tab. Shown on that screen will be both the date of last successful detection engine update and the date when the last check for same was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,789 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I can also confirm that there is no issue in ver. 11.2.49 in regards to available Win Update notification. I verified this by enabling Windows Defender periodic scanning. This from previous experience will always trigger an Eset GUI notification at system boot/restart time if a Windows Defender signature definition update is available via Windows Update. Sure enough, it triggered an Eset notification that a WD signature update was available at today's cold system boot. BTW - I believe the way Eset checks for Windows Updates is by querying the Windows Catalog web site. I state this because I usually receive Eset's notification of pending Windows Updates much sooner than waiting for Windows Update to inform me that an update is available.

camelia 6 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hello, I have to wait for Microsoft August 2018 Patch Tuesday and this time EIS notified me about new updates, I only have to wait more time for possible newer updates later this month to confirm IF EIS under Windows 10 latest build and fully patched is notifying without any issue.

Tried @Marcos suggestion just for out of curiosity and I found out EIS is not updating when the computer is idle (Computer is on, but I wasn't doing anything with it) I have to update it manually (Clicking on "Check for updates" ) Soooooooooooooo my problem is EIS does not update when IDLE, EIS updates after a restart or when I turn on my computer!

Do I have to open other New Topic about this issue? As long as the PC is powered up and not in sleep mode, Eset should update in varying intervals; anywhere from 1 - 5 hours.

Came The easiest way to determine when Eset updates and when it tries , at least for me, is shown below. It's found by clicking "update" from the home screen Updates can also be checked in the log files under "Events" Do you by any chance run full screen programs? I ask because I don't think Eset will notify you on full screen. If you've already been through all this please ignore. Just a guess on my part.

itman 1,789 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Based on what @camelia has posted recently, it appears to me that something is "borked" with her Eset default periodic scheduled update task highlighted in the below screen shot. This task is supposed to run every 60 minutes to check for Eset updates. Note that she is receiving Eset updates at boot time. This activity is controlled by a different default Eset scheduled update task also shown in the screen shot named "Automatic update after user logon." @camelia what you can do to attempt to fix this is to select the above highlighted schedule update task and then click on the "Default" tab. I believe that will set the selected task back to default values. Note I haven't ever used this option so can't vouch for what it does or its effectiveness. Another possibility is some other software that is installed; e.g. Shadow Defender, is preventing the periodic Eset scheduled update task from executing properly.
