[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1020070, member: 32260"] For an unknown reason, only one of my 3 (home computers) was affected - all had enabled the faulty ASR rule. The issue happened on the computer of my wife (Windows 11), but she uses only a few shortcuts, so I repaired it in 5 minutes after looking into the ConfigureDefender log (the faulty ASR rule was exposed in the log). The same problem happened to one of my friends, but she uses the computer for simple tasks and still can run applications from the start menu (we will meet in a few days, so I will be able to repair the issue). A real problem can be for users who cannot get occasional help from more experienced ones. I think that such users should use the AV with default settings (Defender or any other). Usability issues can come sooner or later with advanced settings. [/QUOTE]
