Deadlock detected - scanning displayswitch.exe

Hi all,

Noticed that over the past month or so we keep getting errors/alerts from various devices saying "Deadlock detected while asynchronously scanning file "C:\windows\system32\displayswitch.exe"

For some reason it's always this displayswitch.exe file that causes this issue and not seen any other files causing this alert.

We are running SEC V5.5.1 with V10.8.9 for the clients. All clients are running Windows 10 1909 OS's and are a mix of laptops and desktops with all the latest Microsoft updates.

I'm pretty sure this issue only seems to of started when Sophos got updated to V10.8.9 for the clients.

Many thanks
