Users occasionally report performance impact or functional problems (e.g., crashing) with various products when 0patch Agent is installed (even if it is disabled). These issues are generally solved by excluding affected processes from injection by 0patch. The following table offers scripts to be executed on affected computers that add impacted executables to the ExcludeModules registry value.
Note: if you already have some executables excluded in the ExcludeModules registry value, or want to combine exclusions for more two or more affected products, manually modify the first line of the script to include ALL affected executables, delimited by the pipe ('|') character.
The script should be executed with administrative privileges, e.g., by launching cmd.exe as Administrator, copy-pasting the script and executing it.
