Advanced Settings

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\Log0patchLogMaxSize

Specifies the maximum size, in Megabytes, of 0patch.log. This value is set to 1 by default. Changing this value has an immediate effect.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\LogMaxSize

Specifies the maximum size, in Megabytes, of individual log files 0patchConsole.log, 0patchService.log, 0patchScanner.Log and 0patchLoader.log. This value is set to 10 by default. Changing this value has an immediate effect.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\ExcludeModules

Specifies a list of process names into which 0patch Agent will not try to inject its own DLL for the purpose of patching (0patchLoader.dll or 0patchLoaderX64.dll). Process names must be delimited by the pipe character (‘|’) without any spaces. For any change to this value to come in effect, the following must be done, or the computer needs to be restarted:

1. The value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\CallbackKeys\UnloadLoaderDll\Counter must be changed to any other number than it already has (this removes the loader from all processes), and
2. The “0patch Service” service must be restarted.

Example (excluding calc.exe and notepad.exe from injection by 0patch DLL):

ExcludeModules=calc.exe|notepad.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\AutoUpdate

When set to 1, 0patch Agent will automatically update to the latest version when a new version becomes available. If the agent is centrally managed via 0patch Central, this value is ignored and 0patch Central settings are honored.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\0patch\AutoScan

When set to 1, 0patch Agent will automatically scan local drives to identify patchable modules each time 0patch Service is launched or any new patches are downloaded from 0patch Server. Setting this value to a value other than 1 disables this automation, which may result in incomplete or outdated information about local executable modules, but will not affect the application of available patches.
