Hard_Configurator ver. installed 7.0.1.0 everything is fine.

I like the method of whitelisting executables by McAfee. It is very friendly and informative.

Hello, Andy. I have been using your tool for a long time now, with different Avs without a problem. But now I installed ESET (on Windows 11 25H2) and when SRP is active, the ESET context menu disappears on right click. When I disable SRP - it appears again. I whitelisted the whole folders of ESET in Program data and in the User directories AppData/Local but the problem still remains. Could you help when you have time to spare.

Did you look at the <Tools> <Blocked Events / Security Logs> ?

 

[normalizerx]

Yes, I did but there was nothing related to ESET there.

Are there some events correlated by time with the right-click?

 

[normalizerx]

I checked on purpose as I didn't see any other reason for the right-click context menu to disappear. SwitchDeafultDeny - ON - restart - no context menu. SwitchDeafultDeny - OFF - restart - context menu appears.

I saw on the ESET forum that on WIN11 EsetContextMenu.msix has to be registered. Perhaps I should exclude that but don't know how.

You did not answer my question.

 

[normalizerx]

I'm sorry, no, no time related events coinciding with the right click. But the logging is standard, I have not activated advanced SRP logging.

OK. Can you post (or PM) the screenshot with the H_C main window?

SRP restrictions are switched OFF and do not block anything.
Does the right-click context menu disappear in those settings?
If not, please post the H_C main window with activated (switched ON) settings.
