Windows Action Center telling me that ESET Security is turned off

[Page42 6]

Since updating to Version: 14.0.21.0 on one of my 7x64 machines, I am getting the Windows Action Center telling me that ESET Security is turned off (I run ESET NOD32) and despite selecting the option in AC to turn it on and trust the publisher, the status remains the same... ESET Security is turned off. I can choose to turn off messages about virus protection, but would prefer to get ESET to sync with Action Center. I've experienced this before, and usually updating the program, or a second reboot, makes AC recognize. Anyone else?  Help appreciated!

Assuming that you were on Eset pre-release updating, see my posting here: https://forum.eset.com/topic/25900-pre-release-14021-update-trashed-win-10-security-center/

Hello itman,

TY for the reply.  I am not on pre-release.  I was on pre-release many months ago, but switched back to regular release.  I checked settings just to make sure.

Appears you're going to have to wait for Eset to fix this.

As posted on wilderssecurity.com, even a fresh install of 14.0.21 is borking the Win Security Center on select Win installations.

When I tell Action Center to turn on virus protection, I get this dialog.  And when I select "Yes, I trust the publisher...", nothing changes.  I have also selected the second choice, and that fails to fix the AC problem.  I wanted this to be posted in case it helps  ESET in finding a solution.

@Page42 Is the problem still visible? If so please turn on Enable Kernel advanced logging setting. Run update or reboot.

Note that Security center service has delayed start so let it sit for a while.

Turn off logging and provide ETL logs from Diagnostics folder.

Yes, the problem is still visible, however there's a lot about your reply that I don't understand.  I don't know where to turn on Enable Kernel advanced logging setting?  The Security center service you reference as having a delayed start is not a delayed start on my system.  I don't understand that you say to turn off logging (after saying to turn on advanced logging), I don't know what ETL logs are and I don't know the location of the Diagnostics folder.

Are these instructions for ESET NOD32 user?

Itman said in response that it "Appears you're going to have to wait for Eset to fix this".  That makes sense, and I can live with that.  In fact, it would be helpful to me to know if this is happening to other users.

I appreciate your reply, JozefG, but much of it was unclear to me.

You can enable it in Advanced setup accessible by F5.

Logs will be present in C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Diagnostics after you stop logging.

Is the problem visible even after module update and reboot?

Happy to report that after reboot (and any module update) this morning, Action Center has returned to normal.  TY for your help, JozefG.  🎷🎶

I'm still having this issue. It is in an infinite loop trying to update to 14.0.22 from the useless 14.0.21.  I've tried clearing the update cache. I've tried to return to earlier version. It just keeps asking me to update to 14.0.22 then asking me to approve (UAC) and then asking me to install update again. Windows 10 1909
