Fixed issues in the

Windows

agent

An issue that prevented the offline ML model from working properly on

Windows

devices running

CylancePROTECT Desktop

version 3.2.1000 was fixed. (EPP-4880)

Some files that could not be scored in the

Cylance

cloud or locally received invalid scores which caused unnecessary log entries. (EPP-4662)

Some files that could not be scored in the

Cylance

cloud or locally were repeatedly analyzed which caused unnecessary log entries. (EPP-4661)

After a USB device such as a document scanner was unplugged and you plugged in another one, and the device control policy was turned on, a system bug check (SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) error occurred and the device was forced to reboot. (EUS-1685)

If a USB device was connected at device startup, sometimes the device control policy blocked it even though there is a valid exclusion set in the device policy. (EUS-1424)

Some USB4 docking stations did not work properly after a device restart on a device that had device control policy enabled. (EUS-1400)

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent, if its installation was successful but the upgrade of a non-

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent was rolled back unnecessarily. If the upgrade to

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent 3.2 is successful, it does not roll back even if upgrades to other agents were not successful. (EPP-1897)

When a file in the global quarantine list was detected and blocked, the block action was not reported to the management console if the file was deleted before the agent processed the event. (EPP-1709)

When a device could not connect to the

Cylance

management console, the log line that was associated with the event was only available when verbose logging was enabled. (EPP-3311)

If you installed a version of

CylancePROTECT Desktop

using a unified installer (version 2.4.x), you were prevented from upgrading the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

The script can now run as expected without being interrupted by the agent when the cmdlet is used. (EUS-508)

If the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent version 3.0 with memory protection enabled was running on a user’s 64-bit

Windows

OS, and the user started a 32-bit version of

Microsoft Outlook

,

Outlook

closed immediately. (EUS-440)

When a user tried to execute a program file from a network share while the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

might have displayed a blue screen with the following error:  "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart, Stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, What failed: CylanceDrv64.sys” (EUS-437)

When memory protection was enabled, redundant information was written to temporary files. The redundant information has been reduced and fewer temporary files are created. (EUS-294)

service did not start on devices that have installed the Arabic version of

Windows
