[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 950291, member: 32260"] I managed to do some testing today. I can confirm that Windows 11 uses an unusual path to run Security Center: [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]\\?\C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealthHost.exe [/COLOR][/B] instead of: [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealthHost.exe[/B][/COLOR] I will add this path to the H_C default whitelist in the upcoming version. Such paths (with [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]\\?\[/B][/COLOR] in the beginning[B]) [/B]are not whitelisted by default in H_C so the executable is blocked and Security Center is not displayed correctly. The solution is the usual one. The path should be whitelisted. But it includes wildcards, so <Add Path*Wildcards> has to be used.(y) Edit The paths that start with [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]\\?[/B][/COLOR][B] [/B]are called "device paths". [/QUOTE]
