New Application LocalBridge

[Pipercub]

Hi.  SafeKids on my son’s laptop generated an alert today for “New Application LocalBridge from the Other Category was found”

 

I have never heard of this, and have not been able to find any trace of an app on the device of that name.  A full virus scan has not found anything.  As far as we know my son had not downloaded anything around the time this app was detected.

Has anyone heard of LocalBridge please?

Can you please provide a GSI Log.
Concerning “LocalBridge” please visit the Microsoft Community.

@Berny Hi

OK, mystery solved.  After asking on the Microsoft Community it appears Localbridge is a process associated with the Office app in Windows 10 that links to Office 365 online - see screenshot.   I have now set Safekids to allow the app which seems to have resolved the issue.

Many thanks for your help.
