PuterCare 3 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have the HIPS rules enabled, but they are blocking some scripts from running. I have a script that auto-updates some applications: C:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\Invisible.vbs" "powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File """C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\user-run.ps1"" When it is ran, it is blocked: 01/12/2023 11:01:36;C:\Windows\explorer.exe;Start new application;C:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe;Blocked;Deny script processes started by explorer; I'd rather not turn this rule off as in most instances, we do not want to let explorer start wscript etc. I have tried adding a rule but they seem to be so broad that I can allow one process to launch another, but I can't seem to be any more specific than that. Is there any way around this other than turning the rule off? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted December 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2023 You can copy wscript.exe to a location that is not in the path variable and run the script with a full path to that wscript.exe. PuterCare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
