Yes, it was right to the point. I'll delete the relevant task then. Thank you.

Today when i opened Windows Task Scheduler, i received the following message: Task UpdateConfiguration_S-1-5-80-<SNIP>: The task XML contains a value which is incorrectly formatted or out of range. After searching a bit, i found the problematic Task file. It contains the following info: <RegistrationInfo> <Author>Microsoft Visual Studio</Author> <URI>\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Updates\UpdateConfiguration_S-1-5-80-<SNIP></URI> </RegistrationInfo> <Principals> <Principal id="Author"> <LogonType>InteractiveToken</LogonType> <RunLevel>LeastPrivilege</RunLevel> <UserId>NT SERVICE\ksnproxy</UserId> </Principal> </Principals> It seems it has something to do with Kaspersky products, right? About 3-4 months ago, we (at work) uninstalled the KES products we had (with a local version of the Kaspersky Console) and went on Cloud. Could this perhaps be a remnant of the old product or it's something current that has somehow been broken? I've searched around and can't find anywhere a local user "ksnproxy". Except from removing the task file, how can it be fixed?

Yes, that did the trick! Thank you for your help.

I'm using KES Cloud 12.2.0.462 under Win10 Pro. Windows is fully-updated to the latest version (22H2 19045.3930). The cloud Security Profile has Device Control turned Off (i'm mentioning it because i'm guessing it should play a positive role in the problem i'm facing, without being sure of course). I own a Lenovo laptop but the problem i'm describing also occurred in my previous laptop (Dell). I'm executing Skype (the Desktop version, not the App). When i go to Settings/Audio&Video, i see that the camera and microphone are not working (the camera led is turned on but the display shows a black screen and the microphone does not respond to voice). In the Windows Settings application, both Camera and Microphone are allowed for Desktop Apps and Camera and Microphone Access is On. As soon as i disable KES (Exit from the tray icon context menu) and go to Skype settings again, everything is working fine. What part of the security policy may be causing this? Please note, this issue does not exist in the App version of Skype. Only the Desktop version if affected, and it's not the only app. Viber is also affected and i think Zoiper too.

OS: Windows 10 x64 22H2 19045.3693 KES 12.2.0.462 I've recently faced the following deadlock situation. I was using a program i know it's safe but because it alters a large number of (compressed) files, the behavior detection routines have marked it as suspicious and deleted it (keeping a backup of it though). Now, in KES, there is the ability to manage the program and add it to exclusions, but how to do that since the file has been deleted? In that screen, the "add" button was disabled. I pressed the "calculate checksum" button but nothing changed. Perhaps this process should be re-checked, it seems there is a logical error there.
