Administrators Marcos 5,242 Posted April 27, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don't see any problem with losing protection after upgrade. Protection works even without a restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protection works even without a restart. It's possible to run it in order to disable it temporary while it's pending for a restart so you can do whatever malicious you want , if protection works without the restart then it's a different story. Thanks. You can lock it if you want. Edited April 27, 2020 by Nightowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
