THANKS for this information. I’ll try contacting Support directly.

Again, thank you for all the help!

I’ll report back with the outcome.

[Lost admin rights due to KIS]

There’s not Cancel option in the window.

I believe that I may have used kavremover in between sessions, thus why the window doesn’t show anything. I don’t remember. It might just be the app that didn’t record the “fixed” weaknesses.

 

In the end I am stuck with this despite long hours spent on research and fiddling with Group Policy on Windows.

NOW I understand why there was confusion. I am so used to calling it KIS that I didn’t think before posting.

Yes, it’s Kaspersky Standard 21.5.11.384 with patch a.

I am sincerely sorry for this misunderstanding!!!

[Lost admin rights due to KIS]

Hi. @Flood and Flood's wife 

It’s KIS MR5. The issue isn’t the Scan for weak OS settings or any other KIS settings..  After I did a scan through Scan for weak OS settings, it listed a weak setting. I don’t recall what it was. I proceeded with clicking the FIX button. Then after a restart, I started getting that issue I mentioned in the original post.

The fix removed FULL admin rights and now Windows asks me (see the attached image in my original post) permission whenever I need to handle sensitive files and folders (program files and some exe.

Maybe a Kaspersky dev may help. They may know what weak OS setting it might have been. Knowing this, I can perhaps reverse it. Otherwise, none of the things worked.

[Lost admin rights due to KIS]

There was this option in KIS to fix a weak settings. I didn’t think much and did it. Now, every time I try to move files from Program Files and opening some apps, Windows asks me admin permission before proceeding. 

Here’s an example:

I don’t remember what exact “weak settings” it was that I haphazardly clicked.

My account is admin and I have checked to make sure of that. I have UAC disabled.

 

Edit: I do not have to enter my password everytime. It’s only this pesky step that bothers me.

[How to disable auto deletion of threats.]

@Flood and Flood's wife

 

I didn’t see that there. Im going to reinstall MR5 and find it.

Also, I see you everywhere on this forum. You should be made a honorary member or mod or something. THANKS a lot!

[How to disable auto deletion of threats.]

I’m on Patch A. Switched today to MR5. 

I have gone through all the settings and can’t find any option to disable auto deletion of detected threats. 

I’d like to regain control on what to remove and what to exclude. This feature was called “Perform recommended actions automatically” back in 21.3. It’s lost in 21.5.

[What will happen to KTS customers when 21.5 hits?]

I currently have a subscription for KTS. I am using 21.3.10.391g.

I understand that some existing Kaspersky packages will be replaced with basic/standard/plus. I also understand that everything hasn’t been finalised and that KTS will definitely be phased out. 

What version (basic/standard/plus/premium) will KTS customers be offered? Can I upgrade to 21.5.11.384 right now?
