Quick startup keeps disabling some of my preferred startup items, I turn them back on thru the Kaspersky UI, It tells me to reboot. System then allows them all to run, but then Kaspersky Standard disables them again. How do I permanently turn OFF this **** and unwanted "Quick Startup" Lenovo kaptop, UEFI System AMD Ryzen cpu, 32gb ram, 2 x 512gb ssd, win 11 ver 2000.856

Hi All I have the same issue and I am using KIS (Kaspersky Internet Security) ?? Sorry for party crashing your topic.

But it is really frustrating - when I am typing and suddenly --- No reaction!! I don't have BADUSB attack and any of all those settings you showed here..? Hope for a solution Stay Frosty Netz

How can I disable the Kaspersky keyboard prompt in password fields using browsers on Windows 10 PCs? Nick

I may be late but you can actually disable this feature. Go to settings and search for "secure keyboard input", click on it, then the settings for this feature will open. Just uncheck to disable it and click save. My complaint in the thread is that I want to continue using this feature without the annoying popup showing up every time. This feature is supposed to "help protect your data from keyloggers", so there's no reason why someone should disable it, except that annoying popup forces us to disable this feature completely. I've been living with that feature disabled for many years because of the popup. Note: This feature is different from On-Screen Keyboard. The settings for both are available on that same page.

I've been using Total Security for at least 10 years and never had an issue until recently. I have a 2.5 year old PC HP laptop running Windows 10 and a 2 year old Android phone running whatever the latest update is. I extended my Kaspersky licence to my phone. I use the Chrome browser on both devices. Over the past 2 to 3 months (it's sept. 4, 2022), both devices have suddenly shut off while I was in the middle of something. Re: my phone, it's happened in the middle of me writing a text and in the middle of a phone call. On my laptop, it has happened while I was working in an excel document and while I was shopping online and about to hit the checkout button. Those are just the examples I can remember. I have been able to restart my phone afterwards but my laptop doesn't want to power on afterwards. I sometimes can't use it for hours. Once it was about 2 days before it would start again. At the moment, I'm not able to power it up and I don't know how to resolve that. Perhaps this is just coincidence but lately, I've been getting the occasional pop-up that tells me I've exceeded my 300 MBs of VON protection and offers a button for extended protection. I followed it once to find out it's trying to sell me an add-on. I've told it to get lost every other time. Has anyone else experienced any of the above? Does Kaspersky know about it? When I'm able to get back into my laptop, is there anything I can do so that it won't happen again? Thanks

I like Kaspersky, but I am unable to change anything in settings, including start on launch, because it instantly restarts. I've read that if you disable the start on windows launch option it will not do this, but when I try to apply the settings, it simply restarts and does not keep the change. Does anyone know if this is a part of the free version or a workaround? I want to be able to pause Kaspersky, but I cannot find a way to disable it, temporarily or otherwise, without it restarting the PC instantly. I tried to uninstall and reinstall hoping it would give the option to start Kaspersky on Windows start, but it instantly recognizes the license and goes back to restarting when any setting is changed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I noticed that "Applications Launch Control" in task mode "Statistics only" does block (deny) applications from starting. I believed that "Statistics Only" wouldn't block anything but in this case the opposite seems to be true. Whenever I see that an application is being blocked I add it to the "Rules list..." under "Rules managing" after which the application runs without any problems. The events all say that there are no rules found for applications that are being blocked. Does this have something to do with the option "Replace local rules with policy rules" under "Rules managing"? Can someone please point out why task mode "Statistics only" does block applications in "Applications Launch Control? KSC: 13.2 Kaspersky Security for Windows Server: 11.0.0.480 Best regards

My question regards the "Kapersky keyboard" that shows up on my Mac every time that I try and key in a password. It blocks my ability to see what I am typing withmy own keyboard (or if I use the Kapersky keyboard), and sometimes I can't make the keyboard disappear. Is there any way to just not have the Kapersky keyboard show up on my screen at all. I never use it, and it just gets in the way.

If you're experiencing an on-screen keyboard bug, try restarting your device, checking for software updates, and toggling the keyboard off and on. If the issue persists, test in Safe Mode, or reinstall keyboard drivers. If necessary, run a system file check (Windows) or reset keyboard settings.

I have windows 10 22h2 with Kaspersky free edition and the browser extension for Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox All the latest updates installed. Previously, i had to uninstall the antivirus and reinstall again. Now i am facing exactly the same problem. I Stopped the antivirus and started again. I test in more than one browser and doesn't work even. What more can i do to fix the problem!?

I set the update to "After application launch" for test and waited 2 minutes After 10 minutes, there was no trace in the report The problem therefore appears to be a setting in Kaspersky that is causing updates to be buggy I'll retest by restoring all the settings to their defaults, just to be sure

@Flood and Flood's wife I found some information on the Kaspersky website (for older versions) and if I understood correctly, for the "Every hour" setting, If for the Hours setting, it says 10:00 AM and 1 hour for the "Run every" setting, then the search will be performed every hour starting at 10:00 AM (and therefore not before) I don't see what the Postpone.... setting is for if the PC (or Kaspersky) is launched before the specified time Otherwise, I reinstalled Kaspersky 21.21, and the update ran automatically without any problems after installation (with all the default settings) Either the reinstallation fixed the problem, or a setting is breaking the automatic update I set it to "every hour" I had this problem with a software that Kaspersky was blocking. The software's launch was delayed by 1 minute with a disabled setting in K, and only if Kaspersky was closed and reopened Thanks for your help I will see if the problem persists, if so, it will be a setting (or bug with setting) in K therefore

@MousePadOff Read: Do not Disturb Mode: "If this check box is selected, Kaspersky application does not display notifications about events that occur during video calls, when watching videos, when working with applications, or using the keyboard. Do not Disturb Mode can also pause some automatically started tasks or delay running scheduled tasks to avoid excessive utilization of computer resources." Check Interface Settings, Configure Notifications -> Notify on screen. Navigate to File Explorer, click the "View" tab, and check or uncheck the box for "Show file name extensions". Check in Windows, Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, is there a LAC, Kaspersky VPN? IF 'yes' uninstall it then shutdown the computer using SHUTDOWN, not Restart, power ON by pressing the power-button, login, recheck the VPN alert? IF it OR any other issues persist & (you're) confident (you've) installed & configured the software correctly, log a request with Kaspersky Customer Service, https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts - select either Email or Chat, then fill in the template as shown; include a *detailed history*; Support may request logs, GSI, traces captured while the problem is replicated & other data; they will guide you. Is Kaspersky VPN in Windows notifications & actions - after - the uninstall? IF 'yes', turn notifications OFF in Windows. *BEFORE* contacting support - make sure Windows OS / build is up-to-date, with no Beta, Canary, Development & OR Insider Build installed & the Kaspersky Standard version is 21.21.7.384.0.23.0 -> https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads#update-product? *Also* -> IF using Chat - a copy of the chat transcript can be downloaded by selecting Download - otherwise (you'll) have no record of the chat* Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available?

From time to time my keyboard (not the virtual keyboard) freezes and I have to restart Kaspersky to fix the problem. This problem has been happening for more than a year. Windows 10 x64 build 19044 Kaspersky Security Cloud 21.3.10.391

Operating sysyem: Windows 11 but it was happening on Windows 10 as well Name: Kaspersky Internet Security Version: 21.3.10.391(i) Ever since I installed Kaspersky I'm having trouble launching Modern Warfare/Warzone. When I somehow get in after fiddling within Kaspersky exceptions and whatnot it doesn't let my game save, so it's blocking the game making changes on my PC I guess, and every time I restart PC I start having trouble again. Today it didn't even let me download an update for Warzone from Battle.net. No idea what to do anymore, I've put Warzone into exceptions or something, marked it as trustworthy, but none of it helped, and I'm stuck. Thank you for your replies in advance, hopefully someone else can find your information useful down the line.

how to disable kaspersky secure keyboard ?

Greetings. Yesterday just before going to sleep i was surprised with a strange Pop-up from Kaspersky, it said my antivirus wasn't activated and that my protection was disabled. It was odd since my signature will last until october. A quick look made me realize that after a update, the antivirus just expelled my activation key and downgraded back to Kaspersky Free. I entered my account and had to manually disconnect my computer so i could install once again in the same computer. I'm wondering if this will be a recurring problem, because most of the time I ignore all the annoying pop-ups of Kaspersky, but luckily this time i paid attention since the colors had change from the ones i used to see. PS: Second problem, if you have time: How do i get hid of all the annoying pop-ups that Kaspersky seems to be throwing at me? I know about the configurations inside the program, but i only have the system ones activated, all the others about promotions and news are disabled, but i still get a lot of irritating pop-ups every now and then, even when I'm in fullscreen. I remember Kaspersky being all quiet in the computer back in the day, but now it seems that more and more irrelevant pop-ups are appearing on the screen.

Today, I ran into a rather frustrating issue. After turning on my computer on March 30, I noticed that Steam didn’t launch automatically as it normally does. At first, I thought it might just be an autostart glitch, so I tried opening it manually — but nothing happened. The app simply wouldn’t start. I went through all possible fixes: reinstalling Steam, deleting leftover files, and checking system settings, but no luck. Finally, as a last resort, I decided to temporarily disable Kaspersky. To my surprise, Steam launched immediately. However, the problem persists — every time I restart my PC, I have to turn off Kaspersky to open Steam. This has never happened before, and I have no idea what’s causing it. You might wonder if I changed anything on March 29 that could have triggered this. The answer is no — I barely used my computer that day. There were no updates for Steam or Windows, and I didn’t tweak any settings, either in my system or in the antivirus software. One more detail: Poland switched to daylight saving time overnight, from March 29 to 30. Could that have somehow caused a conflict between Kaspersky and Steam? Honestly, I doubt it — but something is definitely wrong, and I don’t know how to fix it. Additionally, I’m using Kaspersky Plus with active protection and Windows 11 24H2 with the latest updates installed. If you need more information, screenshots, or video recordings, I’m happy to provide them. This issue is quite frustrating, and I’d really like to solve it — especially since I’ve never encountered anything like this before. I’m also worried that Kaspersky might be blocking more applications than just Steam. For now, everything else seems to be working fine.

Hi, since I now have a 10 seat Kaspersky Premium license, I wanted to install it on the Mac. BUT, I use Little Snitch, and although kaspersky mac doesn't have the firewall, it has a network component that was incompatible with little Snitch many, many years ago. I use Little Snitch religiously as it's the easiest app on Mac, period, to get internet connection outbound access alerts. And the beauty is that it has a perfect set of default rules to allow the OS and safari to function, so you really only get alerts as you install new apps (or if you genuinely have some spyware or malware or something). It's not the end of the world, I will keep using Malwarebytes on my Mac if Kaspersky still doesn't want to co exist with Snitch. However, I thought it would be nice to have kasapersky, as unlike MWB, it deals with windows malware on the mac also so you don't accidentally spread it to others, as well as real time scanning whereas MWB only deals with Mac malware and ONLY if it tries to execute. Unlike Windows, there is no quick simple system restore on Mac, and Time Machine takes ages for something like this. So would be great to know up front if anyone knows! TIA!

Hello im using kaspersky endpoint security , I habe just upgraded my application and deployed to pc s but now the pc s are unusable due to kaspersky has blocked the keyboard and I cant press control alt delete. Can anyone help me please

Hello @tistou77 Only quick addition : Kaspersky checking for updates after 15 minutes of windows start (when you see background) after 15 minutes will automatically update databases and then every 2 hours.

It still doesn’t work for me. I have to completely disable the antivirus to launch the Steam application. I tried continuing the conversation with support, but I ran out of patience. I feel like they're either avoiding confrontation or trying to brush me off.

In view of the fact that support for Win 10 will end in fall 2025, it is time for Kaspersky to launch a Linux version of Password Manager. I have been a customer of the program for years and own a PC that is not Win 11 compatible. I can't and don't want to buy a new PC. My device is perfectly suitable for my purposes but is already several years old. Therefore, I think in the interest of the many customers who use Kaspersky Password Manager and, like me, have no possibility to buy a new PC but want to continue using the program, the company should fulfill our wish.

Estimado soporte, Desde hace un tiempo vengo experimentando un bug al abrir el teclado virtual de Kaspersky. Al abrirlo y pasar el puntero del ratón se oculta y no se ve sobre el teclado hacdiendo imposible su uso. Un saludo, José Carlos
