Hello.

I have a question about ESET definitions updates when computer is locked. It seems that during that period regular definitions updates are not performed but only pico updates are downloaded. After I unlock computer ESET updates right away.

Is this how it supposed to be or should regular updates also happen during the time that computer is locked?

Hello,

check the Scheduler, by default Regular automatic update runs each hour.

Also information on tasks' last run is shown there...

There is also Automatic update after user logon task scheduled, which might explain it.

Automatic update task is enabled and working without problem when computer is not locked.

Last run time is shown at the time when I unlock computer and automatic update is performed. If I check log files - events all updates are logged there. Non of them happen when I have my system locked.

Automatic update after user logon is not enabled (default setting). I also did not log out and then log back in, I just locked my computer when I was away.

My take on this is if the PC is in a Win locked screen state, Eset won't perform normal updating activity such as sig. and module updates. This is because Eset has to interact with the desktop to perform activities such as animation of the Eset desktop icon plus popup alerts that above noted updates have occurred.
