Hello to all

This fix worked for me but do we understand what caused the issue and how it was related to ESET ?
This was very frustrating and thousand thanks to the guy who found it ...

Now I have another problem. After change in registry this 2 keys, Firewall in my windows defender and eset shows, that is disabled and I can't enable it. Once for 10 seconds windows shows notifications about this problem. I restore permissions in registry and doesn't help.
Sorry for my bad English

A FIX WAS FOUND ON THE ESET WEBSITE
I will provide the FIX here and walk you through it
FIX was found by AREZCO

In regedit go to those 2 destinations

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}\InProcServer32\

Double click on (Default) and replace "%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\shell32.dll" with "%SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll" in both file destinations then restart your PC and everything should work fine !!

Here after more than 24 hours, all OK.
No firewall problem.

I have read this post with interest ... I currently do not use ESET but have been seriously considering replacing my current AV suite (I use NIS/NS which is about to expire). I have not installed a AV on my W10 yet, I wanted to do some research first to ensure the AV products were fully W10 compatible. I'm curious, has this issue with ESET/W10 influenced your opinions on ESET? Would you still recommend it based upon your past experiences?

If this reply belongs to a new thread, let me know, but am looking for responses based on this current issue with ESET.

As for me, this problem does not change my opinion on the product. I'm running my protection with Eset for a lifetime, at least 18 years and I've never had a single virus.
And it's light, does not require special knowledge, even the basic setup runs smoothly.
I work at the PC 12 hours a day and I surf the web anywhere

Hi Zash
may i ask you a question ?
have you tried PsTools (technet.microsoft)?
if you extract psexec in a folder for example c:\test
and run this command as administrator Start "" "C:\test\psexec" -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
you should edit the registry without any privilegies
