Since I upgraded a few machines to 1709 last week I noticed some major issues. The most obvious one was group policies with client side extensions failing to apply. I noticed that some Windows folders were denying me access too such as C:ProgramDataMicrosoftGroup PolicyHistory{GUID}. After looking into this further I found this thread and further down mentioned general permissions/access issues. Uninstalling Webroot completely cleared up the issues I was having. I spoke with support who acknowledge (vaugley) that there was a known issue and offered a couple of work arounds with a fix on the horizion. The work around was to turn off "Realtime Shield - Scan files when written or modified". This has worked! A couple of things I would love to know:
1. What exactly is the issue? The engineer didnt seem to have any idea
2. Is turning this feature off a vunerability?
3. When is a proper fix scheduled for?
Many thanks
