Do all security softs regularly run with elevated privileges, or only the ones that Windows recognizes as AV?
Get Process Explorer or Process Hacker and study what runs with elevated privileges without the UAC prompt.

I knew you would say something like thatGet Process Explorer or Process Hacker and study what runs with elevated privileges without the UAC prompt.
So it looks like all services, whether security softs or not, run at system level privileges.Get Process Explorer or Process Hacker and study what runs with elevated privileges without the UAC prompt.

Processes that the user manually chooses to run as administrator will run at "high" privileges, which is one step lower.

Yeah, it seems that most AVs do not run into conflicts with AppGuard or need special exceptions.ZA Anti-Ransom was taken off the Power Applications option in AppGuard. What was evidenced is installing everyday ESET NOD32 AV and seen a popup and part of it said "elevated client". Then after using it a few days AppGuard never once blocked anything about it, and not only that ESET has not one entry in the AG configuration pages. So there's no longer any AG hole created in Power Applications Lockdown warned about.

If I forget to change from Lockdown Mode can I reformat my drive?You cannot uninstall AppGuard in Locked Down mode.
Set AppGuard to Protected mode or OFF and then uninstall it.
if you reformat your drive while AG is installed you will lose one activation.If I forget to change from Lockdown Mode can I reformat my drive?
Thanks
You mean I need to get it reactivated by AG again?if you reformat your drive while AG is installed you will lose one activation.
the icon doesn't matter, only the driver that is loaded way before.How fast does Appguard protection kick in after system startup, and what happens if a user manages to launch a guarded app before then?
I see that the icon can take a little while to appear in the system tray, but maybe protection starts before that?
Thks Shmu26 that workedGo into advanced settings, disable self-protection, and then you can stop service.
