Reference


Microsoft requires security vendors to sign binaries using Azure Code Signing (ACS). As a result, applying a minimal Microsoft Windows update based on the version of Windows is required. Therefore, customers who do not have the minimum OS build/patch of Microsoft Windows after February 18, 2023 may encounter the following errors:

  • Agent Program and Services may not work properly.
  • There will be a reporting issue between the Windows Security Center (WSC) and the security agent which could result to the agent co-existing with Windows Defender. This could possibly lead to slow login, application lockup, or machine unresponsiveness.

Microsoft's official KB with additional information on this can be found here (KB5022661).
