That would be my educated guess. Symantec hasn't yet made changes to the installer to be compatible with the most recent W10 updates.
Although, I didn't get any error messages; just a hang mid-stream of install.

I had the issue on Win 10 64 & mention something rollback & install didn't completed. I too tried few times with the same prob.
Actually Windows Defender messes with SEP install. I tried disabling WD 3 times & everytime SEP install was successful so definitely WD is the culprit for SEP install fail.
Yes it seems so. When I had installed it & attached a USB, got a message something like auto run blocked or something. I think other AVs deletes autorun something call inf or something but ACM of SEP only blocks the autorun as its not malicious but a function.
And is it also for to provide control of the SEP on the system if managed by SEPM?
good to know , i will try right now. will keep you informed.
Ok,
@yesnoo was right Windef is the culprit, installation completed succesfully, now i downloading the full DB (because of RX).

iIm using Rollback RX , if i use the reduced client when i rollback to a previous snapshot, SEP re-download the full DB.
I dont get it.
You mean installed reduced client size then created Rollback snapshot. And on reverting to this snapshot SEP downloading full databases?
If I remember correctly Rollback also automatically creates snapshot on some installs/updates i.e on installing/updating some programs Rollback gives a window creating snapshot for the ongoing installs/updates, do you mean this snapshot? Or you manually created a snapshot after completing the install of SEP?
Any, manually or automatic; seems SEP is timestamping its DB; and when you rollback , it find some inconsistencies and redownload the full DB.
Ok.
I had installed SEP reduced size & updated & created a snapshot with AX64. I will revert to the snapshot now & post the outcome here.

"Symantec Endpoint Protection Application and Device Control enables extra security protection for client systems. Simple rules created with Application and Device Control can enforce security policies and stop unknown malware. Application Control provides administrators with the ability to monitor and/or control the behavior of applications" This is what written about Application and Device Control in their website
Ok, I reverted to the snapshot. GUI showed latest definitions. I checked with LiveUpdates & it too showed uptodate. So no probs here.
So it means Application Control is useful if you are going to create rules/policy otherwise no need to install, right?
Wait some days lol, if the database wasn't updated in the meantime , no issues will appear; iin my case it usually happened after few days.
If I will keep SEP then will see.
But the databases was updated i.e it updated some revocation thing. So no probs now. As mentioned if I keep SEP will keep an eye & see.
Guess it provides some malicious url protection through firewall but no phishing protection, right?
I did custom install i.e reduced size databases & didn't install mail protection & application control. Updated the databases, it was quick. Restarted the system.
As per Symantec reduced size is app 80-90% less of the full size.
Programs & Features shows Symantec Endpoint Protection (Not 498MB but 988MB).
Program Files (x86) Symantec Folders Properties shows Size 132 MB & Size on Disk 89.5 MB.
UPDATE - Edited the bold part above. May be I didn't noticed correctly previously.
