Zardoc 4 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Hi, Since latest update I've been getting this error message. Event 18 The Windows Security Center Service was unable to load instances of AntiVirusProduct from datastore. It seems to appear on boot. I don't see any effects from the message but I must say, if it's my AV that has an issue.....😐 Thanks Edited November 17, 2023 by Zardoc more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if I reboot the machine the error isn't there. It seems to happen on cold boot only. Is it possible it's a delay in start sequence ?

itman 1,755 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I will also advise opening Windows Security Center -> Device Security -> Core isolation -> Core isolation details and verify that Memory Integrity is set to On status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does clarify the problem might only be related to Win 11.

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to load instances of FirewallProduct from datastore. The only way this poster was able to resolve the issue was to revert back to Win 10.

TPM is a base requirement for Win 11. Overriding base Win 11 requirements to force its install not a good idea. It could come back to bite you in the butt.

Can you , please, tell me how(?) to roll back to previous ESET Internet Security 16.2.15 ? Though we all may expect a working solution ( update ?) from ESET.............

Pete12 2 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 An other ( easy ) option could be not displaying these id=18/19 in the eventlog. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger seek for the appropriate GUID and modify a value from enabled 1 to 0. Reboot pc and the error is gone. Where to find the appropriate GUID ...............( id=18/19 ) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't "rollback" to ver. 16.2.25. 1. Export existing Eset 17.0.15 settings if customization made from Eset default settings. 2. Download ver. 16.2.15 from here: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2885-download-and-install-eset-offline-or-install-older-versions-of-eset-products . Scroll down to this web page section, Earlier versions of ESET Windows home products, and select ver. 16.x for the Eset product you have installed. 3. Uninstall Eset ver. 17.0.15. Reboot necessary after uninstall. 4. Install Eset ver. 16 previously downloaded. 5. Import Eset settings if previously exported.

Zardoc 4 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 I just rolled back to version 16 and the problem is not there. So version 17 has an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete12 2 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 " version 17 has an issue "............I assume you have no TPM ? I dont have TPM , but have the same errors with the 17-version......... We may hope ESET will solve this problem , for us all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoc 4 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 I have a full modern system Z90 with TPM enabled but not activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
