Hi
We have a standard Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC image installed with Sophos Intercept X client installed.
The image uses the uwfmgr write filter and when we enable it some of the Sophos services fail to start. Any advise please and is there any other Exclusions I may need to add?
We have added the following Exclusions
"C:\ProgramData\HitmanPro.Alert"
"C:\ProgramData\Sophos"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\HitmanPro.Alert"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos"
"C:\Program Files\Sophos"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos ELAM"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Endpoint Defense"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Endpoint Defense Service"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos File Scanner Service"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Health Service"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Live Query"

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos MCS Client"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos System Protection Service"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sophos"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Sophos"
windows defender is disabled
I have attached the sophos log file that is located "C:\Programdata\Sophos\Logs
Many Thanks
