@danb so for my clarity, just leave CL running in its default mode (smart-aggressive) is usually how I have CL set when I install a CL update...
If it is an auto update it will do everything automatically for you. But for a manual update, it is best to right click and choose Exit CyberLock first. Thank you!

WLC analysis will never give a different verdict than unsafe for an unsigned file, or it may not give any verdict at all and just keep analyzing to infinity. Quickest way to whitelist in -> WLC -> Right click on file.
There are tons of Safe WLC files that not signed, silly ;). Pretty much every single super commonly file that is not signed is considered Safe by WLC. But if it is not signed and not common, the odds of being considered Safe are not all that great. But then again, that is EXACTLY how it should be ;).

I get that but while the file is being analyzed you get the analyzing pop up like in my screenshot above. What it's not being analyzed you can just check on whitelist.
Here is what I do for massive files like that one... Either try to launch it and have CyberLock block it, or drag and drop to CL, or like OS says, right click on the file / CyberLock scan. So do any of those 3, then click the Block button to close the prompt. Then wait about 5 minutes for a file that size and check again... it should be complete. Smaller files are much quicker... usually under 30 to 60 secs.

Hey guys,

The Edge issue should be fixed now, but if there are any other Auto Blocks that start in Windows or Program Files please let me know!

Chrome Canary update was autoblocked, but of course it starts from C:/User/AppData ...

I checked for and Edge update and it was not blocked.

Ok, good to know it generally depends on signature and reputation for a safe verdict.

Edit: 1.5 hrs. after autoblocking Chrome Canary, it was Auto allowed.

Thanks! I knew there was some trick to it and I was just over thinking it ;)
