There is a new patch, "f", since august 10, 2021.

Patch F for version 21.3.10.391 ​

Patch F for Kaspersky Security Cloud version 21.3.10.391 was released on August 10, 2021.
In patch F, we have fixed several application issues.
To install the patch:

1. Run the database update for Kaspersky Security Cloud. See the Online Help for instructions.
2. Restart the computer once the updates are completed.

The patch will be installed. To check if the patch was installed successfully, open the application window and click the Support icon in the lower-left corner. The information about the application version will be available in the window that opens. The version number will have the letter f added.
To complete the patch installation successfully, computer reboot is required. If you don't reboot the computer in seven days after the application receives the patch, the icon on the Windows taskbar will turn red.

How do I know if a patch was found by Kaspersky program? I tried several times to force updates on KSC and rebooted my computer, but the F patch was not installed.

This is always the same, just be patient, patches are gradually delivered, after reboot You should see the letter F...

So, there aren't messages about new patches, like "it is available a new patch" "reboot your system" etc.?

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, I think there are, but only if a week later after the system got the patch, and it was not rebooted...

Hello,
Just got patch f after 12 days !
But I'm wondering if it makes difference between doing a stop and restart vs a reboot (this morning it was my first reboot after some days) ?

It might be a case, if you have fast startup enabled. If that is true, reboot is required to "truly" shut down your system.

I'm not sure about "fast startup" but maybe it is the explanation of this so long delay for getting this patch f

A lot of people shuts down their computer thinking that it did completely shut down, but in reality they only put it in some hybrid sleep mode which usually only causes problems.
I had a customer with strange problems and after checking uptime in task manager it turned out that computer was not properly shut down for more than a month. They thought that they did shut it down every day, but they didn't know that Windows 10, by default puts it in hybernation.
So I disabled hibernation - something I do right after install on all of my systems.
That's why Kaspersky says to reboot your system after update and not turn it off and then on again. That makes a huge difference on Windows 10 in default config.

Hi @JB007 ,

I have been testing on this more than a dozen times after obtaining the Patch in the database update and the Patch got implemented ONLY after proceeding with a reboot.

Hi @Berny
Thanks for the information.
I think it is very important and an alert when the update is ready and a reboot is needed should be of great interest for users like me that do not reboot their PC every day.
Possibly a future feature ?

 

[Berny]

Hi @JB007

You are welcome. After 7 days without reboot the Kaspersky icon is turning red and a mouseover on the icon is displaying an invitation to reboot.

I know this feature but I think that a week is a too long delay for a security software.

Hi @JB007

I agree with you ….

Hi @Berny
I hope that Kaspersky team can understand this problem.

Hi @JB007

Did you post a suggestion to TS ?

The best option should indeed be a “Please reboot“ notification right away after the database that is containing the Patch has been downloaded.

Hi @Berny
You are right, it is exactly what I think !
No I did not submit to Kaspersky Support because I know that they did not take care of users suggestions very often
