    Likely some anti-exec blocking msiexec.exe or some other part of Windows Installer process. You have to create a rule in whichever anti-exec program you use or temporarily disable it during upgrade.

    Correct, SpyShelter inhibits my updates/upgrades/installs... easy fix.

    I've been experiencing some browsing slowdown, while Adguard Premium is enabled.

    I disabled Adguard temporarily to see if it could be the problem and indeed browsing seemed a lot more snappier after doing so.

    Do you have an idea what could be causing this within' Adguard?

    I am on Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit, in case it helps

    Do you have enabled WFP network driver in AG settings under folder Network?

    I always have that option unchecked.

    I'm starting to think it might be something between Firefox and Adguard Premium, because when I use Google Chrome with Adguard Premium, I get no browsing slowdown...Same goes for Internet Explorer.

    If you have win 8.1 you should have enabled this driver option.

    Hmmm, interesting, thank you for that tip.

    I appreciate it

    *UPDATE* - For some reason, enabling this feature actually slowed thing's down for everything (Windows 8.1). I disabled it and am back to the default (No WFP network driver).

    If you're using Adguard Premium (Desktop), do the following.

    Go to:

    Settings > Browsers and Click on the "Add a browser button..."

    From there, locate the otter-browser executable to add to Adguard.

    Once finished, you should be able to surf otter-browser with Adguard.

    Let us know if this works

    That's strange as it should be just the opposite. WFP driver is intended to improve filtering on Win 8 and newer. @avatar's assistance is needed in this case.

    I keep getting these popping up - see screenshot. It practically stops you from going anywhere.

    I went ahead and re-enabled it and oddly enough, it didn't reproduce the issues that I had previously.

    I'll leave it enabled and keep an eye on it's behavior.

    I just wanted to let you know that I have confirmed that my earlier problem with Outlook.com status switching from Invisible back to Available is not a problem with Adguard or a problem with Adguard's filter rules. So no worries on your end, this is something on Microsoft's end possibly.

    The reason why I thought that it might be Adguard is because I have only been using Adguard recently and this problem only started occurring recently as well. But that must have been just a coincidence. They must have made some changes on Outlook.com back end recently because this is happening to me even without Adguard installed.

    I hope so. They have announced that in future Edge will provide an SDK for add-on developers very similar to Chromium's one.

    @TyRizian, @pegas

    WFP is newer technology, but it still has some bugs which can lead to incompatibilities with some AV software. TDI is old, but stable.

    Beta by beta. Two versions within less than 24 hours. Is it a sign v6 is approaching?
