This was the error message I received after installing Eset on Windows 10 1809 64-bit. Anyone received this error message before? What is it about?

Let ESET run the first update. Thereafter restart your PC and the notification won't show up again.

That was what I did and I never received the notification again. But I am just wondering what causes this notification to appear?
 
I used to get that notification when I imported a configuration file that made references to modules or settings that no longer exist or belong to another version of the product.

That's strange. I installed a fresh copy of WIndows and then Installed Eset and did not change anything in settings.
 
I get the same message when I installed ESET recently on my PC. Everytime. I don't know what it is, but doesn't seem to affect anything.

Everything seems to be running normally, but I don't get update installed notifications.

I enable PUP detection and LiveGrid during installation. I have always did so and never received this notification before.
 
If you have installed Eset recently then it shows this message after first update. Nothing to worry about but still Eset should fix this as it causes an immediate concern.

Yes I did received this message after the first update and yea I though there's a serious error with Eset and I started to wonder if protection modules are enabled or not. Thank btw for your help :)
