pronto 6 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Servus Community, since one or two months the ESET virus scanner does not start by itself after a reboot on any Windows server system. Neither on 2016 nor on 2019 or virtual machine or installed on metal sheet. A start of the service afterwards by hand goes without problems but when overlook this after a server reboot, there is no longer a virus scanner running. The issue came suddenly out of the blue and affects all Windows server operating systems. Thank god no clients are affected. Does anyone know where this comes from and possible any fixes?

But I have not installed any updates before the restart. Sorry for the new thread I opened with this. Thx & Bye Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue manifests only on the first reboot i.e. the one to finish application of the updates. based on what we know, the changes in the new builds should address it. 20 hours ago, pronto said: Sorry for the new thread I opened with this. Not an issue, in might not be easy to find... Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
