[QUOTE="509322, post: 579345"] What does the *.bat file do ? cmd.exe is a Guarded App. cmd.exe host process executes the *.bat. If the *.bat file attempts to violate AppGuard policy, then its actions will be blocked. If the *.bat is attempting to write to C:\Windows\Temp - that will be blocked because cmd.exe as a Guarded App is prevented from writing to System Space. C:\Windows\Temp is in System Space. To allow the *.bat to write to C:\Windows\Temp - if that is what it does - you have to disable Guarded protections for cmd.exe by unticking it in the Guarded Apps list. The above is most definitely not recommended. Just be aware that if you do this, and a Guarded App is exploited or you run a digitally signed malicious program in Protected mode or use "Allow User Space Launches - Guarded", then those programs can use cmd.exe to modify the system in unwanted\malicious ways. [USER=50932]@Duotone[/USER] - please move this to PM since it is off-topic for this thread. [/QUOTE]
