Outlook Attachment issues


Recommended Posts

Tuesday afternoon, several of our end-users are reporting issues with Outlook attachment handling when ESET Endpoint Security v 10.0.2045.0 is installed. Outlook locks up when attempting to save, preview or view attachments. We have tested PDF & XLSX attachments, both file types have the same issue.

We have tried many things, the only certain resolution is uninstalling ESET Endpoint Security.

The affected computers are running these versions of office.
Microsoft 365 / Outlook v2301 16.0.16026.20238
Microsoft 365 / Outlook v2303 16.0.16227.20280
Microsoft 365 Apps for business / Outlook v2304 16.0.16327.20214

Some users are on W10 others are on W11

What settings can we change to make this a better situation for our end-users.

Please raise a support ticket. We've seen issues like this when Windows didn't turn off Windows Defender and it was running concurrently wih ESET.

I was having the same issue and found that Windows Defender was not turning off with Eset installed. Once I turned off Windows Defender through group policy (or local security policy in a workgroup) to I have no more issues.

Is it enough to turn off Real-time Protection in Windows Defender under Virus & Threat Pro.? See image

That should be enough I assume.

I just tested this yesterday and sadly it was not enough to only disable Real-time Protection. I ended up disabling all of Defender.

We have used this workaround to solve the issue 

New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender” -Name DisableAntiSpyware -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

Hope this helps
