Hi Team

After the latest update 14.0.21.0 my eset network protection tab started Showing Red in color i am attaching images and unable to figure out why is it red and everything shows good that eset is working fine on the system,

Please help by sharing more guidance on this as to what is this problem.

For starters, try to manually enable in the Eset GUI, the firewall, IDS, and botnet protection settings.

I manually tried to swipe the option towards right it gave me the option to permanently turn off the particular security option. And when I did accept it for the first option my firewall went OFF. 

im not sure what this new update is .IT has never happened ever in the last 15 years that have faced any issues with ESET.

Please guide if have any update on this .or any new security update which i manually need to activate from these tabs. ???

Open Windows Security Center -> Virus & threat protection. The screen displayed should show the following:

Next, mouse click on "Manage providers." The screen shown should appear as follows indicating both Eset Security and firewall are turned on and Windows Defender and firewall are turned off:

Report back on your findings.

I've seen this once or twice. Did have this problem once with an update but rebooting seemed to fix this

Hey ITMAN

Thanks for your hardwork and sharing the screenshots, Yes I can confirm I have the same settings as mentioned in the screenshot. and also @peteyt ive restarted my machine couple of times and its day 2 so have also shut down and start up done. But still getting the error.  

Im on Windows 10 Pro 1909.  does it have to do anything with windows latest patch. 2004 and the recent october one  ???

This is very strange.

If the Eset firewall is disabled for any reason, Win 10 should auto enable the Win firewall. As such, this status should be shown in Windows Security Center. Again verify that the the Win firewall is not shown as "turned on" in the Security providers section of Windows Security Center. Does it show that the Eset firewall is "turned on"?

At this point, it appears the best solution is to uninstall Eset Internet Security. Prior to uninstalling, export your Eset existing settings if you have made any changes to Eset default settings.

Reboot Eset after the uninstall completes.

Download Eset ver. 14.0.21 from here: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2885-download-and-install-eset-offline-or-install-older-versions-of-eset-products .

Run that download to reinstall ver. 14.0.21. Note that you will have to enter your existing Eset license key to activate Eset. Import your previous Eset settings if you previously exported them.

Verify that Eset is functioning properly.

Verify that Windows Security Center has properly registered Eset via above posted screen shots.

Should the problem persist, carry on as follows:

- under Help and support enable advanced logging
- reboot the machine
- disable logging
- collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated zip file here.

Hey Guys Finally some Good News !!!!

Im replying to this topic right after the new update 14.0.22.0 and after system reboot and everything is fixed now it seems to be a bug or a error from Eset end maybe they fixed it in new update.

Ive attached the new screenshots for reference. Normally eset does not release product updates so quick i believe.

Thanks a lot to all of you for being such kind and gentle beings for all the help and support you provide to everyone.

love lots and God bless .

Will get back to you if i face any other issues.  All of you are guardian Angels !!!!!!!!
