Why doesn't KES work in Safe Mode? [KES for Windows]

This behavior is expected. We have no control over a system booting in Safe mode, because Safe mode is a special boot mode for OS diagnostics and repair. It is not possible to enable KES booting when Safe mode is running. However, booting in Safe mode can be disabled using GPOs or the local registry. It can be done by a local administrator. One of the ways to disable Safe Mode is described here.

Why are not all browser extensions blocked by Application Control? [KES for Windows]

The Application Control component has a category called Browser extensions. There is a known limitation for it in Chrome.

It requires an .exe file to load. An extension that is already running cannot be blocked by application control (it h

Anti-Cryptor doesn't start on OS boot [KES for Linux]

Problem Sometimes Anti-Cryptor task in KESL won't be able to launch after the OS is started.

Issue Sometimes Device Control errors in KES may occur. For example, hard drives are wrongly blocked when USB device blocking is enabled, or flash drive blocking is not happening although the policies require to do so.
